Item Description

ATTENTION LED ZEPPELIN AND CLASSIC/PROGRESSIVE ROCK COLLECTORS HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 1ST PRESSING OF THE 1ST LED ZEPPELIN ALBUM AND SERIOUSLY RARE IN 2015 AS A GENUINE SHORT LIVED 1ST EDITION WITH THE 1969 POLYDOR PRESSED ATLANTIC RED/MAROON/WHITE LABELS THAT WERE CHANGED JUST UNDER 2 YEARS LATER WHEN POLYDOR NO LONGER PRESSED ATLANTIC LPs WITH DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS.
THIS ONE BEING 588171 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A//1 B//1 MATRIXES AND HAVING THE EARLIEST SUPERHYPE SONG PUBLISHER LABEL CREDITS AS WELL AS THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER HAVING THE TURQUOISE COLOUR LED ZEPPELIN QUICKLY CHANGED WITH VERY FEW SURVIVING AND HERE COMES AN IN DEPTH GRADING REPORT WHICH I WANT YOU TO READ BEFORE BIDDING TO ENSURE YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS DISC SOUNDS THIS ALBUM HAS HAD QUITE A FEW PLAYS WITH A NUMBER OF MOSTLY VISUAL SURFACE MARKS BUT PLAYS THROUGH NICELY WITH NO JUMPS,STICKS OR MAJOR DISTORTION .
THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE-MOSTLY LIGHT CRACKLE THAT IS MORE NOTICEABLE DURING QUIETER PASSAGES INCLUDING SOME SHORT LIVED AND LIGHT CLICKS BUT THERE ARE NOT MANY OF THESE AND THEY ARE NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE.
I HEARD SOME ISOLATED POPS BUT NO DEEP THUDDING CLICKS WHEN LISTENING AS I DO WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON,THERE IS A LITTLE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE LOUDEST SOUND PEAKS BUT THAT IS BEING VERY,VERY STRICT THERE IS A VERY,VERY SLIGHT AND TINY EDGE WARP WHICH GIVES A LITTLE WOBBLE TO THE SOUND OF THE OPENING FEW SECONDS OF THE ORGAN PASSAGE AT THE START OF SIDE 2 BUT PLAYS FINE AT MY TRACKING WEIGHT OF 2 GRAMMES.
VERY SERIOUSLY AND STRICTLY GRADED AS GOOD CONDITION MANY WOULD HAPPILY GRADE AS VERY GOOD CONDITION AND SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING EXCELLENT CONDITION AND ARE REALISTIC TO ACCEPT SOME SURFACE NOISE WHICH DOES NOT AND I REPEAT DOES NOT OVERTAKE THE ENJOYMENT OF THE MUSIC THEN THIS WILL DO VERY NICELY UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND THE RESPONSES BACK REMEMBER ANY REALLY EXCELLENT OR BETTER THAN THAT EXAMPLE CAN EASILY FETCH 1000 AND AS SUCH THIS MAY BE THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST LPs EVER AT A DECENT PRICE THICK VINYL GREAT USE OF THE STEREO IMAGE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CURVED EDGES POLYLINED PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS INNER SLEEVE.
THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH A TINY INTIALS ON ONE OF THEM BUT NO WRITING OR STAINING HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.
PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY PHOTOS TO SEE BOTH LABELS AND BOTH SIDES OF THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER PRINTED BY MacNEILL.THERE IS SOME SURFACE AND RING WEAR MOST DO AND ANUMBER OF CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
