Description
HERE ON OFFER FROM MY OWN COLLECTION IS A VERY FIRST PRESSING OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 PRESSING AND NOT ONE OF THE MANY LATER 1971 PRESSES. IT HAS THE JIMMY PAGE ON THE TOP OF THE LABELS. LATER PRESSES MOVED THIS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LABELS. THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE A5 / B5 WITH THE HAND ETCHED " SO MOTE IT BE " IN THE DEAD WAX. THE GATE FOLD SLEEVE HAS A GREAT WORKING ROTATING WHEEL. IT HAS ITS ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WITH CUT BOTTOM CORNERS.
THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAY TESTED ON A REALLY CHEEP CROSLEY SYSTEM WHICH PICKS UP ALL AND ANY PROBLEMS OR POPS , CRACKS ETC. THIS I FIND IS A MUCH BETTER WAY TO PLAY TEST ANY VINYL AS USING A MUCH BETTER SYSTEM TENDS TO COMPENSATE ANY BAD BITS ON THE VINYL.
THE VINYL PLAY TESTED AS VERY GOOD, SOME DUST CRACKLES AND POPS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE A BAD LISTENING EXPERIENCE . THERE ARE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND SURFACE SCRATCHES AS YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A 48 YR OLD ALBUM. THE GATE FOLD SLEEVE GRADES AT VERY GOOD ,
OVERALL A GREAT ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING WHICH IS FAST BECOMING HARD TO FIND IN A PLAYABLE CONDITION.
