Description

Led Zeppelin 3 First Pressing

 

A5 & B5 Matrix Numbers

 

'do what thou wilt’ and ‘so mote it be’

 

Immaculate Red / Plum Labels with 'Celebration' misprint

 

Original E. J. Day & Co Sleeve in Excellent condition

 

Original UK first pressing of this classic album with the earliest possible A5 and B5 matrix numbers and the the words ‘do what thou wilt’ and ‘so mote it be’ in the run-offs. Rare 'Celebration' misprint on the side one label which should read 'Celebration Day'. The vinyl still retains a nice shine, with just some very light paper scuffs. The record still sounds fantastic with the quality of these first pressings oozing from the speakers. There is the inevitable light background crackle noticeable in the quiter parts, as is the case with all but near mint examples of this record. Overall, a very enjoyable listen and 'ticks all the boxes' to make it a collectable first pressing.
