Description
HERE WE HAVE A MASSIVELY COLLECTABLE EXAMPLE OF LED ZEPPELIN'S ICONIC DEBUT ON THE PLUM/ORANGE ATLANTIC LABEL.
THIS IS THE LEGENDARY 1st PRESSING WITH THE TURQUOISE LETTERED SLEEVE AND UNCORRECTED MATRICES.
WHAT MAKES THIS ONE PARTICULARLY RARE, IS THE FACT THAT IT HAS THE MIS-PRINTED LABEL ON SIDE 1 WHICH MISTAKENLY CREDITS TRACK 3 TO BOTH SUPERHYPE AND JEWEL MUSIC. SOME SAY THAT ONLY AROUND 200 OF THESE MADE IT TO THE OPEN MARKET, MAKING IT INCREDIBLY COLLECTABLE.
THE VINYL IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND HAS MAINTAINED A GOOD SHINE OVER THE YEARS. IT STILL LOOKS PRETTY WELL MINT IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT AND THE ONLY VISIBLE MARKS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE A FEW SUPERFICIAL WISPY SLEEVE REMOVAL HAIRLINES AND 1 ALMOST INVISIBLE SCUFF. I HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS FOR A WHILE, BUT AS I RECALL, AUDIO WAS PRETTY WELL FLAWLESS. THE VISUAL DOESN'T SUGGEST THAT IT WOULDN'T BE. I AM UNABLE TO TEST CURRENTLY, BUT HOPE TO SHORTLY.
BOTH LABELS ARE WONDERFULLY BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH NO MARKING OTHER THAN A SMALL AMOUNT SPINDLE TRAILS. LOVELY DEEP COLOURS AND CRISP LEGIBLE TEXT.
GIVEN THAT IT IS NOW ALMOST 50 YEARS OLD, THE SLEEVE IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. IT'S THE CORRECT 1st PRESS TYPE WITH TURQUOISE LETTERING, PINCHED SPINE ENDS AND GREY STRIP ALONG THE BOTTOM. THE SPINE IS SQUARE AND FULLY LEGIBLE. IT REALLY IS A BEAUTY WITH MINIMAL CREASING AND JUST THE VERY LIGHTEST OF EDGE/CORNER WEAR.
HOPEFULLY THE PHOTOS WILL BACK UP WHAT I HAVE DESCRIBED, BUT I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND MORE IF REQUIRED.
COPIES LIKE THIS DON'T COME ALONG TOO OFTEN, SO GET A REALISTIC OFFER IN.
COMBINED P&P WHERE APPLICABLE.
