LED ZEPPELIN 1 (Turquoise)1969 Rare First Pressing 588171 A//1 B//1 LP NM / EX
Atlantic 588171
Extremely rare 1969 UK 9-track first issue stereo LP with 'Superhype' publishing credit on the labels, legendary fully laminated sleeve with turquoise lettering. The matrix numbers are 588171 A//1 & 588171 B//1 and are not scratched out, indicating that this is a very early first issue pressing. This copy remains in wonderful condition with a particularly superb vinyl and very nice sleeve.
This highly sought after first pressing of the classic debut Led Zeppelin album was available for a very short time before the sleeve was replaced with the orange lettered design. The first orange sleeves retained the 'Uptight An' Outtasight' Atlantic Appreciation Society flash on the back, although this was soon replaced too.
This is the very first turquoise lettered sleeve with matching unscratched matrix vinyl & period Polygram poly lined inner.
Condition:-
The vinyl remains in wonderful NM condition with deep bright just pressed sheen and no visible scratches or scuffs to show for its fifty years.
All songs except the Willie Dixon numbers are credited to 'Superhype Music'. The matrices are unscratched, indicating first issue vinyl. NM
The sleeve remains mighty fine, with little evident shelfwear.
There is a small amount of inevitable laminate lift at the spine, but the pinched nature of the construction and the spine text are still plain to see. There are a few light crescent laminate creases on the front and a couple of light horizontal creases close to the spine.
It is obvious that this copy has been well looked after. EX
A gem !
