THIS LP IS A 100% GENUINE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING - WITH ALL THE CORRECT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DETAILS DATING THIS EXACTLY TO THE 'DAY OF RELEASE' IN 1970 (AND SHOWING THAT THIS LP WAS PRESSED WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE).  I WILL NOW EXPLAIN THE VITALLY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES - WHICH APPLY TO 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY.  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 CLEARLY 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 VERY QUICKLY INDEED, 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 TO MENTION IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 'CAT. NUMBER' ON THE LABELS.  1ST PRESSINGS HAVE THE CAT. NUMBER AS '2401002' JOINED TOGETHER - WHEREAS ALL LATER PRESSINGS INSERT AN EXTRA 'DASH' AND SHOW THE CAT. NUMBER AS '2401-002' INSTEAD.  AND ALL OF THESE ABOVE DETAILS ARE SERIOUSLY RARE - AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AS THEY ONLY APPLY TO 100% GENIUNE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE'.  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE VINYL ON THIS ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING IS MUCH THICKER THAN ALL LATER PRESSINGS. THE COVER IS ALSO THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVER - BEING FULLY LAMINATED, HAVING A PERFECTLY WORKING 'ROTATING WHEEL' AND CORRECT '2401 002' 1ST PRESS CAT NUMBERS ON THE SPINE WITH NO CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE BACK, AS A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESSING - THE RECORD OF COURSE ALSO HAS THE 1ST PRESS 'DO WHAT THOU WILT' & 'SO MOTE IT BE' ETCHINGS IN THE RUN OUT GROOVES.  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' BACK IN 1970, AND IS THE 'EARLIEST' AND RAREST 1ST PRESSING THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET.
