MATRIX ENDINGS!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP - AND MAKES IT THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST LED ZEPPELIN LP EVER MADE!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY HANDFUL OF 'TURQUOISE' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - WERE EVER PRESSED WITH UNCORRECTED 1ST PRESS MATRIXES (SEE PICTURES!) AND THESE WERE IMMEDIATELY CHANGED PRIOR TO RELEASE!!!!  ALL LATER 'TURQUOISE' 1ST PRESSINGS (AND ALL THE 'ORANGE LETTERED' PRESSINGS THAT FOLLOWED!) HAVE AN EXTRA 'ETCHED' NUMBER '8' ADDED TO THE MATRIXES AND SHOW A LATER PRESSING!!!!   IN FACT, VIRTUALLY EVERY PRESSING OF THIS LP HAS THIS 'EXTRA 8' ETCHED ON THE MATRIXES - (EVEN MOST OF THE 'TURQUOISE' 1ST PRESSINGS!) AND IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESSINGS WITH UNCORRECTED 1ST PRESS MATRIXES LIKE THIS ONE HAS!!!!  SO DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE SERIOUS RARITY OF THIS LP!!!!  BECAUSE, NOT ONLY IS IT THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESSING WITH 'TURQUOISE LETTERING' ON THE COVER FRONT AND 'SUPERHYPE' CREDIT ON THE LABELS - BUT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, WITH IMPOSSIBLY RARE UNCORRECTED MATRIXES!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' AND RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!! 

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS STILL A VERY PRESENTABLE EXAMPLE INDEED - WITH A VERY DECENT COVER, PLAYS FINE (I PLAYED IT END TO END!), AND HAS NO MAJOR DEFECTS AT ALL!!!!  AND WHILST IT MAY NOT BE MINT, IT HAS A VERY SHINY LOOKING & VERY PLAYABLE RECORD INDEED (WITH NO STICKS, AND NO JUMPS!), VERY NICE LABELS (NO WRITING, NO MARKS!), AND A VERY DECENT COVER INDEED (NO RIPS, NO TEARS, NO SPLITS, NO WRITING, ETC!)!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS RED/MAROON (PLUM) ATLANTIC LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'UNCORRECTED' A//1 B//1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SUPERHYPE' CREDITS ON THE LABELS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE,  AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'TURQUOISE LETTERED' FULLY LAMINATED COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL UK Atlantic 1st Pressing from 1969 and is SERIOUSLY rare in EVERY respect!!!!  The record is pressed on MEGA THICK quality vinyl!!!!  The Cat. No is 588 171 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Red/Maroon Atlantic labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!! 

The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO annotations, NO tears, NO rips, NO writing, and only a few spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is still a VERY presentable example, and though it may not be in MINT condition - it is still VERY bright & shiny indeed, and plays through absolutely FINE (NO sticks and NO jumps!)!!!!  And as I just said - when you first slide the record out under normal lighting, the vinyl looks VERY decent indeed, and still has a VERY nice glossy look!!!!  And only when held to a VERY bright light, can you see 3 or 4 small hairline type marks, only a few VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD IS STILL VERY BRIGHT & SHINY LOOKING INDEED!!!!  And I played this LP end to end - and apart from some background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - the record plays VERY well indeed, with NO nasty loud pops, only a few VERY light clicks (though NOTHING heavy or regular!), NO sticks, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  So although the record isnt perfect (though it certainly isnt wrecked either!) -  it is still a VERY presentable example indeed, that plays well, and still gives a VERY decent account of itself!!!!  And while the playback isnt pristine Mint, it was certainly a VERY enjoyable listen - as I played it end to end through my Seinheiser headphones!!!!  Therefore, although many would be tempted to grade higher still - I will only MEGA STRICTLY grade this record Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better!!!!  And please remember this record is PROPERLY graded, it is still a VERY presentable & VERY playable example (NO jumps and NO sticks!), and still looks VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Turquoise Lettered' FULLY Laminated Cover is still VERY presentable indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  It has NO sticker marks, NO edgewear, NO nasty brown creases, only VERY slight spinal wear in a few places (NO splits!), only a small 'invisibly' repaired 'wear trace' about half way down (though I cannot see ANY splits, and the cover is 100% solid here!), only a MEGA thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge, NO edge splits, shiny laminate, NO sticker tears, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO annotations, possible VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the bottom corners, a few small creases along the spinal edge, only a few light creases elsewhere (cover is still flat looking!), NO yellowing, NO sticker marks, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the laminated back of the cover has NO annotations, quite a few creases (NO splitting!), NO yellowing, only a few ULTRA faint impressions under light, NO sticker tears, NO grubbyness, and NO writing!!!!  So whilst this cover isnt Mint - it is certainly still a VERY solid & presentable example, with absolutely NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  And it is only the few creases mentioned above that stops this cover from being graded MUCH higher still!!!!  And this is certainly still a very VERY solid & presentable example, and must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  WITH THIS LP NOW REGULARLY SELLING FOR OVER £1500-£2000 NOW (AND THE RECORD PRICE BEING £3600+!), THIS IS SURELY AN EXTREMELY RARE CHANCE FOR SOMEONE TO OWN THIS INCREDIBLE LP AT A CHEAPER PRICE THAN THE HUGE FORTUNE REQUIRED TO OWN A MINT COPY!!!!  AND EVEN THOUGH THIS EXAMPLE ISNT MINT - IT IS DEFINITELY A VERY SOLID EXAMPLE INDEED, THAT PLAYS THROUGH FINE (NO STICKS & NO JUMPS!) AND HAS NO MAJOR COVER DEFECTS AT ALL!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (WITH A 1ST PRESS TURQUOISE COVER & 'SUPERHYPE' LABELS!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
