Description
For sale is a superb 1973 UK first pressing of Led Zeppelin’s Houses Of The Holy (Atlantic K 50014) with the early A2/B2 Sterling matrix in the dead wax — a confirmed first-issue run (Variant 0).
This copy features the original orange/green Atlantic labels and the classic gatefold sleeve with the textured inner sleeve (thumb cut-out).
Condition (exactly as described):
• Vinyl: Near-mint to mint. Absolutely beautiful — crystal clear, glossy, and virtually flawless. Only the tiniest, faintest hairlines (completely normal for a nearly 52-year-old record). Plays perfectly with no issues at all.
• Gatefold cover: Excellent / near-mint for its age. Clean with bright colours, sharp corners and only very light, minimal edge wear. No splits, no writing, no stickers, no heavy ring-wear or damage.
• Inner sleeve: Original textured lyrics inner is present and in excellent condition.
This is an outstanding example — one of the cleanest copies you’re likely to find for a record of this age. The early A2/B2 Sterling pressing, near-mint vinyl, and excellent gatefold make it highly desirable for Led Zeppelin collectors and anyone wanting a premium first-issue copy.
All photos show the exact item you will receive, including clear close-ups of the A2/B2 Sterling matrix in the dead wax, both labels, the gatefold artwork, and inner sleeve. The photos form part of the description.
Shipping: Carefully packaged with strong protection for the gatefold sleeve and vinyl. Tracked postage. UK and international buyers welcome.
