Description

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti  1st Pressing!!! Matrix - SSSK 89400 A1, B5, C1, D1
Has all the following 1st Press features:-

  • Box Cover: The outer cover is of a top loading ‘box’ construction of thick ridged card with the following text printed on the back, top centre: SWAN SONG / 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10
  • The group name, record title and catalogue number run down the left hand side spine, viewed from the front, these are printed in red. 
  • Inner Sleeves: The Inner sleeves are printed on thick card with a natural untreated grey finish to the inside surfaces. They have SSK 89400/A and SSK 89400/B respectively on the back (bottom right corner) of each of the inners. Later issues were thinner card with a smooth finish to the inside. 
  • Labels: The labels are the easiest identifying factors for an original UK 1st issue as they should be clearly marked "Made in UK" but most importantly have no small circular WB (Warner Brothers) Logo at the end of the bottom rim text. The WB logo was introduced onto the label in mid 1975 just a few months after the release, so any label with the WB logo is not from the very first batch of pressings.
Vinyl - Both records play really well, the audio quality is to a very high standard, when held to the light there are very faint surface marks which do no effect the play - VG+ maybe even higher to a less conservative grader. Plays right through with no problems
Labels - Near Mint, no spindle marks at all indicating the records have not been played all that often
LP Cover - Front and reverse are in very good condition. All panes between the windows are in tact (for a change) a couple of them are a little worn at the edges). Some signs of shelf wear around the edges. Again probably VG/VG+
Inner Sleeves - Both the inner sleeves are in nice clean condition, they look excellent. However both left hand and upper seems are coming away where the record has pressed against it
Inner Sheet - Excellent, no real signs of wear or ageing
Postage can be arranged worldwide, due to the rarity of the LP I will be sending it recorded delivery only

I should have mentioned, there is slight wear to the top left corner of the outer cover where a sticker once was. This is shown in the photos
