Description
LED ZEPPELIN III 3 LP 1970 UK 1st Press STEREO ATLANTIC PETER GRANT 1970 RARE!
UP FOR AUCTION IS A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1st PRESSING ON THE RED/MAROON PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL.
PRODUCED BY JIMMY PAGE, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: PETER GRANT (CREDITED ON TOP HALF OF LABELS) See Pictures
COVER FRONT: VG to GOOD condition (missing inner pin wheel and jacket cover is a bit wavy in some areas)
*The original inner pin wheel is missing, but I am including a loose one from a later North American copy that you can insert (See picture)
The inner cardboard parts (that were holding the wheel) have not been ripped out.
The original glue dried out on the bottom left side of the gatefold so you can look inside. (See picture)
2401 002 number on the cover spine.
VINYL is in VG condition.
It has a fair amount of visible wear.
Both sides play through with no skips, with some surface noise (doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the music)
Overall, despite the visible wear the record stills sounds very, very good.
It certainly blows away any later pressings of LED ZEP III sound wise.
CATALOG LABEL #: 2401002
MATRIX SIDE 1: 2401002 A-5 MATRIX SIDE 2: 2401002 B-5
The record has "DO WHAT THOU WILT" & "SO MOTE IT BE" etchings in the deadwax grooves. (like most true 1st UK pressings of this record)
THIS LP HAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LABELS, WHICH WERE CHANGED ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!
MOST 'RED/PLUM' ATLANTIC PRESSINGS YOU SEE DATE FROM 1971.
WHICH IS WHEN MOST SALES OF THIS RECORD TOOK PLACE.
HOWEVER, 1970 IS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING (SEE 1970 DATE ON THE LABEL PICTURES)
THE FIRST DIFFERENCE IS THE ULTRA RARE TEXT ON THE RED/PLUM ATLANTIC LABELS. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE LABELS (In my pictures) YOU CAN SEE THAT TOWARDS THE TOP OF EACH LABEL (ABOVE THE WHITE STRIPE) IN LARGE TEXT THERE IS PRINTED "PRODUCED BY JIMMY PAGE" AND BELOW THIS "EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: PETER GRANT"
THIS ULTRA RARE LABEL TEXT ONLY APPLIED TO THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY AND THIS WAS CHANGED, WITH THE "JIMMY PAGE" CREDIT MOVED TO THE BOTTOM OF EACH LABEL (IN SMALLER TEXT) ON ALL LATER RE-PRESSINGS AND THE PETER GRANT CREDIT WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED ALTOGETHER.
ANOTHER THING IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE CATALOG NUMBER ON THE LABELS: 1ST PRESSINGS HAVE THE CATALOG NUMBER AS: 2401002 AND THE NUMBERS APPEAR JOINED TOGETHER. (SEE PICTURES)
*LATER PRESSINGS INSERT AN EXTRA DASH & SHOW THE CATALOG NUMBER AS 2401-002 ON THE LABEL.
THE COVER IS ALSO THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVER, AND IS FULLY LAMINATED AND THE CORRECT "2401 002" 1ST PRESS CATALOG NUMBERS PRINTED ON THE COVER SPINE. (SEE PICTURES)
THIS IS THE "EARLIEST" & RAREST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE.
FROM THE VERY DAY OF RELEASE BACK IN 1970, THIS IS THE EARLIEST AND RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS RECORD THAT YOU CAN GET!
NO RESERVE!!!!
