LED ZEPPELIN

1969 UK PRESSING LP

**TURQUOISE COVER LETTERING**

This rare 1969 UK pressing is on the red/maroon (plum) Atlantic label: 588171

Despite bearing the 'Warner Bros/7 Arts' publishing credits on labels 1, this disc was definately inside this cover when purchased new by its original owner in 1969.

Matrix numbers: 588171 A//1 & 588171 B//1
Disc weight: 137g

The disc is housed within a fully laminated, first edition cover variant bearing the turquoise lettering on the front panel.
Complete with its original plain white, poly-lined inner-sleeve.

A clean & bright set with a collection spindle trails around each centre hole & slight hole wear on side 1, but no major faults to either.

Both sides of this respectable copy are clean & bright, with all of their deep-gloss shine fully intact.
The discs only major blemishes are two just feelable 5mm scratches on track 1 of side 2.
  Careful inspection in strong daylight & beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some light surface marks & hairlines consistent with normal handling & play.
Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.

Audio: VERY GOOD

This copy has received a number of plays on good quality equipment and is free from any groove/play wear throughout or any other major deterioration to the sound.
It's only major audible fault is approximately 18 repeating clicks on the introduction to the 1st track on side 2, but there are no jumps or repeats anywhere.
A touch of light background is audible during some breaks, together with a few light ticks on some of the quieter passages, but no further significant audible wear.

An extremely clean & respectable example which has been carefully stored since purchase in a clean, non-smoking environment.
The front panel is clean, & most importantly white where it should be, with an unscratched high-gloss front laminate which displays just 3 'thumbnails' towards the opening edge.

All corners are clean, square & unbumped and both opening edges are sharp & have no tears or feathering on either side

The rear panel is as clean & bright as the front but with a few light edge wrinkles and a handful of 'thumbnails'.

Some light storagwear creasing & the inevitable faint disc impression but no splits, tears or writing.
