## Led Zeppelin Single Found
A rare Led Zeppelin record the band ordered to be recalled and destroyed was unearthed on Antiques Roadshow.
## Single Details
The seven-inch single contained Led Zeppelin's classic 'Whole Lotta Love', certified gold in the US with 500 copies pressed by Atlantic Records.
## Band's No-Single Rule
Led Zeppelin had a strict no-single rule, so manager Peter Grant ordered all copies destroyed after the single was released.
## Owner's Story
The owner, who had the record since the early '70s, said it cleared the dance floor at his disco and would give it to his daughters.
## Expert Assessment
Antiques expert Marc Allum noted the vinyl had finger marks and scratches, and estimated it could fetch £1,000 at auction.
## What Happens Next
The owner said he won't play the record again to avoid devaluing it, and will give it to his daughters.
## Key takeaway

A Led Zeppelin single the band ordered destroyed was found on Antiques Roadshow after 55 years.
