Description

Stunning M- copy of the first Led Zeppelin LP.

The vinyl has virtually no visible marks that I can see under strong light. Just a the faintest of marks from sleeve withdrawal, no other hairlines and certainly no scuffs or anything else.  An absolutely beautiful copy of this rare LP.

The matrix numbers in the run off are 588171 A//1 and B//1.  So, the very first press

The labels have no rubbing, names or marks.   There are only a few veery faint spindle marks on the label, mostly on side 2.

The fully laminated sleeve has only a couple of small marks on the laminate, slight creases if you like, but appart from that is also in beautiful condition. There is no wear, hardly any discolouration, just a very light storage mark on the front that is barely visible.  The sleeve is perfectly flat, not bent

Please ignore ebay postage charges. This LP will only be sent fully insured, whether in the UK or abroad. If you do not want to pay fully insured postage, do not bid.

Just to make 100% clear, this is an original pressing, not one of the recent re-issues.   Please mail me with any questions you have.   I will add some more pictures later.

I will post worldwide but, as noted above, only insured for the full value of the record as per the winning bid.

Please excuse the typos in this listing - particularly where it should say Turquoise in the listing title.

Following some other questions about the condition of the vinyl I just wanted to state that, only under the brightest of lights could I see any marks at all.   The few hairlines are as faint as can be and do not affect play in any way at all.

On 18-Oct-11 at 22:55:43 BST, seller added the following information:

Following requests I have added another set of pictures of this record, to try and give a better impression of the condition.

As I hope you will be able to see, the sleeve is flat, not bent in any way.  Also, you will see that there is virtually no ring or storage wear.  The only thing that might not be obvious is the corners, which have only the slightest bits of rubbing and a tiny, tiny crease at the top right corner.

The labels you can hopefully see that there is no rubbing or writting.  I have not be able to capture just how few spindle marks are on the sleeve, but there are only a handful.

On the back of the sleeve you can hopefully see from the picture that only on the very thin areas where there is no lamination is there any sign of discolouration.  There is one tiny, tiny mark under the word 'made' in the text noting the printer's details.  Please note, the shine on the back sleeve is from my flash, there is no mark here on the sleeve.

The laminate on the sleeve has very slightly lifted in a little strip close to the spine and a tiny bit at the bottom right corner, but it is not broken lamination in any place, nor is it in any way disturbing.

I have gone into a great deal of detail due to the number of questions about this record.   In my opinion it would be classed as M-.

On 20-Oct-11 at 11:22:38 BST, seller added the following information:

Some more information, as requested.   At the bottom of the sleeve, as you can see in the last picture, there is the silver/grey strip of colour.  The little bit of white you can see there is from the camera flash.  There is no wear at all here.

Also, the matrix numbers in the run-off.   There is no scratched out number, simply 588171 A//1 and B//1 1 1 1.

As previously stated, I will post internationally, but only insured for the full sale price of the record.  To some countries this may mean DHL or a similar courier, so please wait for the price before paying

I will also be putting up three M- Beatles LPs tonight, please look out for those 

On 21-Oct-11 at 13:41:51 BST, seller added the following information:

Just to make clear, with the vinyl in such fantastic condition the sound quality is as clear as a bell. No scratches, hiss, crackle or other background noise.  The record has not been professionally cleaned and i do not think it would be improved if it was
