LED ZEPPELIN 111 REVOLVING SLEEVE STILL INTACT AND WORKING

On offer here is a VERY rare LP  by Led Zeppelin called "Led Zeppelin III" and is an ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Red/Maroon' (Plum) Atlantic label 

THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND  THIS IS ONE OF LED ZEPPELIN'S RAREST LPs EVER AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE 

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH COMPLETELY 'DIFFERENT' LABELS  AND THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP  AMAZINGLY THIS LP HAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LABELS - WHICH WERE CHANGED ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS  I WILL EXPLAIN THE VITALLY IMPORTANT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DIFFERENCES WHICH MAKE THIS LP SO INCREDIBLY RARE

THIS LP WAS ENDLESSLY RE-PRESSED THROUGHOUT THE 1970s , AND EVEN THE ORIGINAL 'RED/PLUM' ATLANTIC LABEL HAD 3 DIFFERENT PRESSINGS, SO IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY A 100% GENIUNE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING - TO AVOID BUYING A LATER 1971 RE-PRESSING 

MOST 'RED/PLUM' ATLANTIC PRESSINGS YOU SEE ACTUALLY DATE FROM 1971 - WHICH IS WHEN MOST SALES OF THIS LP TOOK PLACE. HOWEVER, THIS LP IS A 100% GENIUNE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING - WITH ALL THE CORRECT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DETAILS DATING THIS EXACTLY TO THE 'DAY OF RELEASE' IN BACK IN 1970 (AND SHOWING THAT THIS LP WAS PRESSED WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE) 

 I WILL NOW EXPLAIN THE VITALLY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES - WHICH APPLY TO 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY  THE FIRST DIFFERENCE IS THE ULTRA RARE TEXT ON THE RED/PLUM ATLANTIC LABELS     

IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE LABELS (IN MY PICTURES AVAILABLE) YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT TOWARDS THE TOP OF EACH LABEL (ABOVE THE WHITE STRIPE) IN LARGE TEXT THERE IS PRINTED 'PRODUCED BY JIMMY PAGE' AND BELOW THIS 'EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: PETER GRANT'  THIS ULTRA RARE LABEL TEXT ONLY APPLIED TO THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - AND THIS WAS CHANGED VERY QUICKLY INDEED, WITH THE 'JIMMY PAGE' CREDIT MOVED TO THE BOTTOM OF EACH LABEL (IN SMALLER TEXT) ON ALL LATER RE-PRESSINGS - AND THE 'PETER GRANT' CREDIT WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED ALTOGETHER  

ANOTHER THING TO MENTION IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 'CAT. NUMBER' ON THE LABELS  1ST PRESSINGS HAVE THE CAT. NUMBER AS '2401002' JOINED TOGETHER - WHEREAS ALL LATER PRESSINGS INSERT AN EXTRA 'DASH' AND SHOW THE CAT. NUMBER AS '2401-002' INSTEAD  AND ALL OF THESE ABOVE DETAILS ARE SERIOUSLY RARE - AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AS THEY ONLY APPLY TO 100% GENIUNE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE'  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE VINYL ON THIS ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING IS MUCH THICKER THAN ALL LATER PRESSINGS    THE COVER IS ALSO THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVER - BEING FULLY LAMINATED, HAVING A PERFECTLY WORKING 'ROTATING WHEEL' AND CORRECT '2401 002' 1ST PRESS CAT NUMBERS    AND AS A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESSING - THE RECORD OF COURSE ALSO HAS THE 1ST PRESS 'DO WHAT THOU WILT' & 'SO MOTE IT BE' ETCHINGS IN THE RUN ON GROOVES  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' BACK IN 1970, AND IS THE 'EARLIEST' AND RAREST 1ST PRESSING THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET   

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION -    JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES
