Led Zeppelin IV Signed Album W/ John Bonham Authentic Astonishingly Rare W/ PSA

Description: Led Zeppelin beautifully authentically signed Led Zeppelin IV album cover by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham. This is an extraordinarily rare find and one of four knownauthentic signed Led Zeppelin IV albums and this one is the nicest of the four. The signatures are very large and the placement of them on the cover is perfect and there are are no contrast issues whatsoever. Each member of the band signed nice and boldly in blank ink with some very light brushing to Jimmy’s signature, which is really not that bad whatsoever, especially considering the rarity of this signed album. The signatures were obtained on November 25th 1971 at the University of Leicester in England duringLed Zeppelin’s winter British tour, which they were promoting their newly released Led Zeppelin IV albumand this Leicester University concert was just 17 days after the album’s release. Signed Led Zeppelin arehighly coveted by collectors and investors alike and it doesn’t get any better than this signed album cover.....it’s a must have!! The provenance for this Led Zeppelin IV signed album is impeccable! This comes with a letter of provenance which reads: My name is (name withheld) and I was an engineering student at the University of Leicester from 1970 - 1973.I resided at their College hall for the whole time there and was elected Social Secretary. This role includedarranging for bands to play gigs at the Hall and entitled me to a seat on the main Entertainments Committeeat the University. In late 1971 we were offered a chance to book Led Zeppelin for a gig at the University. This would be part ofa select few, very small gigs the band wanted to play to rehearse numbers in front of a ‘real’ audience fromtheir upcoming Led Zeppelin 4 album, due for release in the Autumn, before embarking on a major US tour early the following year, their 4th in North America. We were offered the band for a fee of 1,000 poundswhich compared favorable to their current 'going rate’ at the time of 10,000 pounds! Numbers of attendees was to be limited to 1,000 with tickets priced at 1 pound. After some wrangling with the students, because ofrestrictions to access to certain parts (i.e., the bars!) in the Percy Gee on the night, instead on by Led Zeppelin’s management, we accepted the offer and the band played at the University on 25 November 1971, 17 days after the release of Led Zeppelin 4. Together with the band their manager, Peter grant, was there and Iattended the concert also. After the show, I was very impressed that Jimmy Page spent quite some time withme on the stage asking how I felt the sound came across, balance, quality of the numbers etc. Some time later I was approached by a girl who also resided at College Hall and knew me well enough to saythat she had won a fully autographed copy of Led Zeppelin 4 signed by the band at Leicester on 25 Novemberand given to the Entertainments Committee, who had decided to raffle it off for Charity. She had won the albumin the raffle but was not a particular fan of Led Zeppelin. However, she knew I was and asked me if I wanted tobuy the album from her. I did and the album has been in my sole possession ever since.
