Description

I am well aware as I type this that this listing will attract considerable interest , potentially worldwide, so I will be as concise as possible about what I believe to be a true Led Zep rarity. I firmly believe this to be a hitherto virtually unheard of Irish pressing of the classic Physical Graffiti double album.
This came into my possession some time ago, as I work in an Irish Record shop. I am well versed in the nuances of various Irish Pressings. I have handled many down the years and can now spot an Irish Pressing, I feel, at a glance. The pressing plant in Finglas produced a distinctive text on Atlantic and Swan Song Labels. In addition, no country of manufacture was ever stated on these labels, but to the trained eye the text is distinctive. Please feel free to compare the various images of this Swan Song Label relating to this album which are available on numerous collectors sites and discogs if you so wish.
For illustration purposes I have included images of, not just the Led Zep LP itself but also a Irish pressed BA Robertson single on swan song and an Irish pressed Laura Brannigan single on Atlantic. The text can be seen to be identical. 
Condition wise, I would easily grade this album as VG. I have played it throughout and can find no significant deterioration in sound. Under strong light, small hairline trails are inevitably apparent but nothing unsightly or that would effect play. The packaging itself could arguably be described as excellent. Unlike other copies, the die cut sleeve is not torn and printed inners are present.
For the record, on the runout groove you can clearly discern the word Strawberry and the initial PF on some sides of the LPs
