VINYL is NEAR MINT on this amazing pressing...I just bought this, and paid quite a lot. I looked it over carefully and while it was a bit dusty sitting inside the orignal inner sleeve it had no visible marks or spindle wear / trail offs. Still, you never know if it was exposed to heat and would have heat distortion, etc. I took a chance....plus the guy had his collection stored upright on a shelf in the living room in a high end home--I have no doubt he was either in the record business or hit up a friend who was--he had hundreds of records and there were a lot of Atlantic promos see my other listings over the next couple of days .
After ultrasonic cleaning it, and putting it up on my Denon DP 75 turntable from the 70s it picks up everything with less than a gram on the stylus I was ecstatic...it plays pretty much dead quiet and has such punchy sonics. I have had a couple of these pressings over the years but this one is by far the best I have ever encountered. It looks like it was on a turntable once or twice and put away decades ago....
The deadwax on side 2 has the very short deadwax. There is RL stamped into both sides see closeups . While it is not a white label promo, it was with 2 other Zeppelin Promos 1 and 3 that had the same sticker and I have no doubt it was an advance release.
WILL BE SHIPPED FULLY INSURED, DOUBLE BOXED VIA PRIORITY MAIL.
