 LED ZEPPELIN III IMPOSSIBLE EARLIEST A-5/B-5 MATRIXES!!!

YES IT IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE EARLIEST LED ZEP III PRESSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WITH THE EARLIEST STAMPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS THOROUGHLY :

WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH COMPLETELY 'DIFFERENT' LABELS WHICH WERE CHANGED ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN THE VITALLY IMPORTANT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DIFFERENCES!!!!

THIS LP WAS ENDLESSLY RE-PRESSED THROUGHOUT THE 1970s , AND EVEN THE ORIGINAL 'RED/PLUM' ATLANTIC LABEL HAD 3 DIFFERENT PRESSINGS, SO IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY A 100% GENIUNE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING - TO AVOID BUYING A LATER 1971 RE-PRESSING!!!!  MOST 'RED/PLUM' ATLANTIC PRESSINGS YOU SEE ACTUALLY DATE FROM 1971 - WHICH IS WHEN MOST SALES OF THIS LP TOOK PLACE.


THIS LP IS A 100% GENIUNE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING - WITH ALL THE CORRECT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DETAILS DATING THIS CORRECTLY TO THE DAY OF RELEASE IN 1970 (AND SHOWING THAT THIS LP WAS PRESSED WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE)!!


THE FIRST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 100% GENIUNE 1970 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS AND ALL LATER RE-PRESSINGS, IS THE TEXT ON THE RED/PLUM ATLANTIC LABELS!!!!  THE MOST IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE THAT APPLIES TO 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY  IS THAT TOWARDS THE TOP OF EACH LABEL ABOVE THE WHITE STRIPE IN LARGE TEXT THERE IS PRINTED 'PRODUCED BY JIMMY PAGE' AND BELOW THIS 'EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: PETER GRANT'!!!!  THIS WAS CHANGED VERY QUICKLY, AND THE 'JIMMY PAGE' CREDIT WAS MOVED TO THE BOTTOM OF EACH LABEL (IN SMALLER TEXT) ON ALL LATER RE-PRESSINGS - AND THE 'PETER GRANT' CREDIT WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED ALTOGETHER!!

ANOTHER THING TO MENTION IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 'CAT. NUMBER' ON THE LABELS!!!!  1ST PRESSINGS HAVE THE CAT. NUMBER AS '2401002' JOINED TOGETHER - WHEREAS ALL LATER PRESSINGS INSERT AN EXTRA 'DASH' AND SHOW THE CAT. NUMBER AS '2401-002'.  AND THESE DETAILS ARE SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AS THEY ONLY APPLY TO 100% GENIUNE 1970 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE VINYL ON THIS ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING IS MUCH THICKER THAN ALL LATER PRESSINGS!

THE LABELS ARE PRISTINE!!!!!!!!!!! NO WRITING,STAINS,SMUDGES ETC

FINALLY THE MATRIXES:  FOR SOME REASON THE FIRST STAMPERS ON THIS LP WERE THE A-5/B-5!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE ARE A-1/B-1 S IN EXISTENCE BUT THIS LP HAS THE GENUINE FIRST A-5/B-5 STAMPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW RARE IS THAT??????? MAYBE ONLY 300 MADE LIKE THIS???????????

THE VINYL: SIDE 1 IS EXCELLENT...TINY BACKGROUND NOISE AT START OF 'SINCE IVE BEEN LOVIN YOU'
ALL OTHER TRACKS A1!!!!!

SIDE 2.........THE START OF GALLOWS POLE STARTS OF WITH JUST A TINY HINT OF BACKGROUND NOISE.......
WHEN PLANT SINGS HANGMAN FOR THE FIRST TIME THERE IS A CLICK AND WHEN THE WORD 'COMING' IS SUPPOSED TO BE HEARD IT SKIPS THIS............LOOKING VERY CLOSELY THERE IS SMALL LINE ALONG THE GROOVE OF ABOUT 4 MM WHICH IS PROBABLY THE CAUSE- THE REST OF THE TRACK PLAYS FINE.......

THE REST OF SIDE 2 IS FAIRLY FREE OF ANY FAULTS-SOME TINY TINY BITS OF BACKGROUND NOISE ON LEAD IN AND OUTS OF SONG 2 AND 3--------I AM BEING REALLY FUSSY HERE!!!!!!!!!!! TRACKS 4 AND 5 PLAY JUST FINE!!!!!!!!!

UNDER MY KITCHEN LIGHT I SAW 1 LINE ON EACH SIDE..........THERE ARE PROBABLY LINES FROM NORMAL USAGE TOO.....

COVER: LAMINATED-

PRINTED BY EJ DAY LONDON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!

also has the original inner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FRONT: HAS TINY DIG ON ONE OF THE HOLES SLIGHTLY LEFT OF CENTRE-SEE PHOTO
VERY SLIGHT WEAR TOP RIGHT-ABOVE THE 3 PLANES-VERY VERY SMALL........

ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM THE TOP IS A TINY HORIZONTAL CREASE- DOESNT REALLY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!

REAR: ALMOST PERFECT! HAS 1 CRACK IN LAMINATE

INNER: EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!

SPINE=SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUMMARY: THIS IS A GENUINE FIRST EVER PRESS OF THIS LED ZEP CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CANNOT EMPHASISE HOW INCREDIBLY RARE THIS LP IS!!!!!!!!

WHERE WILL YOU EVER FIND ANOTHER??????????

PS.NEARLY FORGOT- OF COURSE IT HAS THE 'DO WHAT THOU WILT' AND 'SO MOTE IT BE' ETCHINGS IN THE RUN-OFFS!

I HAVE TRIED TO GIVE  A 100% HONEST AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTION!!!!!!!!!!!

IF I MISSED A BIT OF STATIC I APOLOGISE-BUT I HAVE PLAYED THIS LP THROUGH 6 TIMES......

THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED MADE AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR A 39 YEAR OLD LP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WILL SEND IT IN A 'PIZZA TYPE' BOX AND WILL ONLY CHARGE YOU FOR THE POSTAGE THAT THE ROYAL MAIL CHARGE ME!!!!!!!!!!!


AS THIS LP IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE IT WILL NEED TO BE INSURED!!!!!!!!!!
AGAIN I WILL ONLY CHARGE YOU WHAT THE MAIL CHARGE ME!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

PPS.THIS LP HAS BEEN KEPT IN A SMOKE FREE AND PET FREE HOME...IT MAY TAKE A FEW MORE PLAYS TO GET THE DEEPEST DUST OUT OF THE GROOVES AS IT HAS BEEN SITTING ON MY SHELF FOR YEARS!!!!
