Best reissue or older version of Led Zeppelin 4 in vinyl.

I use allmusic.com when looking for original issues, then I look to see if Audio Fidelity has a Steve Hoffman release of it, then MFSL has one. That's when my mind kicks in and calculated how much to spend from whats available. Fleabay full of opportunists with prices so jacked, sometimes find one reasonably priced.

@pivetta,

OK, I realize your $50 spending limit is a crucial issue. This IS for one lp. So I say, why limit yourself to one lp when you can now get "How The West Was One", box for a little over $100? Is it that important that you have the perfect copy of "IV"? You’re likely on a lifelong journey that will never be complete.

As for SH forums... they suck. Ever tried to eat a biscuit with nothing to drink? I rest my case.

lmbo...I have to agree with the SH forum comment, but I do like his work.

Music collections, let’s stop and think about that for a moment. *ie...I have all of the Allman Brothers releases but ran across a box set called Dreams. I grabbed that due to some of Duane’s early work. I have several collections and one or two I need to fulfill it, good chance same with the OP, he needs one to fulfill that collection. Just sayin....

@mental ,
I own that set.

Thanks to all for your input. 

You might want to search out the George Piros and George Peckham ("Porky") mastered reissue from the mid-’70s. The Monarch pressings (a plant that is now regarded in hindsight as having pressed a lot of good sounding records) tend to be bombastic, though a little noisy. (For Atlantic records, you should be able to see "MO" as part of the catalog number on the label, in addition to certain deadwax inscriptions). If you are careful to find a clean playing copy, you should be "in" for your budget.
As to "best," that’s often a matter of personal preference. And it usually comes with a price tag these days.

Discogs is also another huge wealth of info and buying selling.

My go to copy before I bought the Classic Records pressing ia a German re pressing distinguished by a yellow sticker with a white exclamation point affixed to the record cover. Sounds Uber.
Whoever did these did an excellent job on this series. I also bought Neil Youngs After the Goldrush and The Yes album with the same sticker and well they are my go to copies to this day.
