ATLANTIC RECORDS PROVIDED THESE MONAURAL CSG PROCESSED PRESSINGS TO THE RADIO STATIONS THAT HAD BEEN A DOMINANT CUSTOMER BASE FOR ATLANTIC OVER THE COURSE OF THE COMPANY'S LIFETIME. SOME OF THE STILL-LOYAL RADIO STATIONS WERE A DECLINING MARKET AND DIDN'T HAVE A NECESSARY EQUIPMENT TO PLAY STEREO SIGNAL. THEREFORE, THESE RADIO STATIONS RECEIVED SPECIFIC MONO MIXES FROM THE PRODUCERS OF THE SESSIONS THAT WERE MADE USING THE CSG (COMPATIBLE STEREO GENERATOR) PROCESS, WHICH ALLOWED TO CREATE STEREOPHONIC VINYL LP RECORDS THAT WHEN PLAYED ON MONAURAL EQUIPMENT WOULD ALLOW THE 2 CHANEL STEREO MIX TO AUTOMATICALLY FOLD-DOWN PROPERLY TO A SINGLE MONAURAL CHANNEL. THIS UNIQUE MONAURAL CSG PROCESSED PROMOTION COPY WAS THE FIRST EVER PRE-RELEASE PRESSING AND WAS DELIVERED TO THE RADIO STATION 3-4 MONTHS BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE LED ZEPPELIN II ALBUM, WHICH WAS THE SUMMER OF 1969! ATLANTIC RECORDS TOOK OUT A FULL PAGE ADVERTISEMENT IN THE APRIL 6, 1968 ISSUE OF BILLBOARD MAGAZINE TO PROMOTE ITS ADOPTION OF THE TECHNIQUE, CALLING IT "CSG STEREO."

NOTE: THESE ARE THE REAL IMAGES OF THE ACTUAL ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON

ALL OF THE RECORDS ARE DESCRIBED VISUALLY, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

·     VINYL: VERY GOOD (VG)  VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)  VISUAL

 SOME VERY LIGHT SURFACE HAIRLINES AND SCUFFS FROM THE SLEEVE. IF IT WASN’T DUE TO THE TWO VERY LIGHT 0.8 INCH PARALLEL HAIRLINES ON SONG TWO OF SIDE ONE (WHICH DON’T AFFECT THE SOUND IN ANY WAY) THE GRADE OF THE RECORD WOULD BE VERY GOOD PLUS (+)  FOR SURE

·     VINYL: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)  SOUND

THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT HAVING A MINOR AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND NOISE IN THE BEGINNING AND MIDDLE OF SOME SONGS, BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE ANY SKIPS OR POPS, OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD PREVENT YOU FROM ENJOYING THE ALBUM. IT IS TRULY AMAZING THAT THIS COPY HAS SUCH A GOOD SOUND CONSIDERING THAT IT IS A PRE-RELEASE WHITE LABEL COPY, BECAUSE USUALLY SUCH COPIES WERE PLAYED VERY OFTEN AT THE RADIO STATION.

COVER: EXCELLENT (EX+)

·     ORIGINAL WHITE INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT (EX)
