Description

Led Zeppelin 1 Advanced Test Pressing with Original Promo Letter! HOLY GRAIL!

HOLY GRAIL of  Led Zeppelin collecting. This is the advanced test pressing made by Atlantic records before the album came out.  This was pressed in DEC of 1968. These advanced test pressings were sent out to major promotional outlets.  They were sent out in plain white covers. This cover is worn and tattered  (see photos) and sent for historical purposes along with the original white inner sleeve. The record is in a new poly lined archive grade sleeve. This record is from the 1st few copies pressed. The labels are type written with the song titles and pasted over the original Test Pressing label. You can see the original Test Pressing label underneath these hand typed labels.

The vinyl is in VG/VG+ condition. There is some gentle paper wear, very light, not deep, from the record being taken in and out of the sleeve. There are a few other very light scratches but none of them deep whatsoever. It has been play tested once by us and has no skips.  If you are an audiophile looking for a un played mint condition record I suggest you not buy this and stick with a new audiophile pressing. If you are a serious Led Zeppelin collector this will become the Crown Jewel of your collection! Considering the age, and how this was handled by radio station people, who usually destroy everything, this is an amazing artifact.

Also included is the ORIGINAL letter sent out with the record dated December 30 1968 and signed by John Gagion who was a member of Atlantic's promotional staff. It is sealed in plastic to protect it.
