Description

This album is extremely scarce.  Almost impossible to find, they are rarely offered for display, sale or auction. This is Led Zeppelin's 1st offering, Led Zeppelin 1, in 1969, from a 1968 recording and only released in the UK.  It is the very 1st pressing of this album that introduced Led Zeppelin to the world.  This 1st pressing had the cover lettering in turquoise. 
With in 2 weeks of the release of this version, all turquoise albums were quickly pulled to make way for the release of the 2nd pressing and new version, with orange lettering.  This is one of the few turquoise covered albums not destroyed and available, and the serial #'s are 588171A/B, with no changes or adjustments to those #'s on this original gem. Nothing has been modified.  I rarely see these surface from anywhere, and rarely in this condition.
Given the history and age of this album, this copy is notable for it's condition.  There is minimal age present on the cover, and even less evidence of use, it was obviously treasured and cared for. The colors on this album are very vibrant. There are a few light crease marks that are visible when held under bright light. On the back cover there is evidence of a very small tear, and light partial album ring mark, visible under bright light.  The spine has minimal evidence of age or handling. 
The vinyl album itself looks like it was rarely played,
This is an extremely rare opportunity to own such an historical and highly sought after item in this condition.  With great hesitation,  I am offering this item is up for bid, hoping that a a Zep fan will appreciate it as I have, and still do.
