Description

 

I’M SELLING MY ENTIRE COLLECTION OF WELL OVER 1000 LPs – I HAVEN’T PLAYED MOST OF THEM FOR MANY YEARS AND THAT’S A CLEAR INDICATION THAT PRIORITIES HAVE CHANGED ..THERE ARE MANY COLLECTIBLE GEMS HERE ON MAJOR LABELS (ATLANTIC,BLUE HORIZON,COLUMBIA,DAWN,DECCA,DERAM,VERTIGO,MARMALADE,

HARVEST,REFLECTION,PINK ISLAND  ETC.) – YOU NAME IT IT’S ALL HERE….ONCE THEY ARE GONE THEY ARE GONE,THAT’S IT ..99% OF MY COLLECTION IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION,BOUGHT MANY OF THEM NEW OR VERY NEAR NEW, MANY OF THEM ARE ALSO UNPLAYED NEW –  GOOD LUCK TO ALL..

 

 

Led zeppelin: 4 ATLANTIC 2401012 UK



Really nice copy,rare original PLUM pressing with early A3/B4 matrix numbers..The „Under license” text is printed in the white strip, there’s a „Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.” credit  and " Misty mountain top" misspelt on the label ..

This pressing has the CORRECTED first side matrix numbers – instead of the correct A/3  the side A matrix ended with B/1..The error was spotted and stamped with „XX” and the correct ending (A/3) was stamped on the immediate right – this matrix is only on the very first records made,not too many of these made it out of the pressing
                                         plant..                                                                    

Has the  original brown inner sleeve,has a small rip on the top and clear tape on two edges..


A  copy of the VERY same pressing just recently sold for 415.80 in pretty much the same condition ...

 

cover:  original unlaminated GF cover , superb  clean EX condition ..... corners are  pretty nice with light wear,opening edges are straight and sharp,NO signs of heavy use AT ALL..inside is very nice and clean…spine is nice square with VERY light rubbing…no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....

record,visual:   superb clean  EX  with few LIGHT and  non-audible surface hairlines caused by the inner sleeve….it still retains it’s beautiful original sheen and it looks GREAT  !!!

 

record,audio: NO  LOUD POPS/CLICKS,NO SKIPS/JUMPS OR STICKING, VERY LIGHT  BACKGROUND NOISE CAN BE DETECTED HERE AND THERE  BUT IT’S NOT INTRUSIVE OR OVERWHELMING -THIS COPY HAS BEEN SITTING DORMANT IN MY COLLECTION FOR MANY YEARS SO A DUST BUILD-UP IS VERY LIKELY THE REASON OF IT....FEW PROFESSIONAL CLEANS WILL MOST LIKELY GET RID OF MOST OF THE STATIC NOISE WHICH THERE ISN'T  TOO MUCH OF ANYWAY..


labels:   Very nice and clean  with light  spindle hole marks …2401012A-3 and 2401012B-4 matrix numbers…”Pecko duck” etched on side A and „Porky” on side B  ..no tears,stamps or any other damages...
