Description
Led Zeppelin’s second powerhouse of an album, catalogue No. 588198 on the Atlantic Red/Plum label. An ABSOLUTELY SUPERB example of this original 1969 UK PRESSING. As with all these original UK RED/PLUM pressings, the power they got into those grooves is astonishing ! So much better than the lifeless re-issues on the orange/green labels from other parts of the globe, including the UK. This recording has a tremendous power and presence that just surges out of the speakers and hits you like the Hammer Of The Gods !! Play it at number 11 and hear why its one of the best albums ever made by any band anywhere !! The almost PRISTINE, UNMARKED vinyl has a MIRROR LIKE SHEEN !! There are virtually NO CLICKS OR POPS, just some light 'ticks' here and there and only the lightest of crackles, barely audible in the very quietest sections !! It plays wonderfully, the sonic assault of ‘Whole Lotta Love’ with THAT RIFF, the floor shaking thunder of John Bonham’s drums, and THOSE VOCALS !! The sheer awesome power of ‘Heartbreaker’ and the semi acoustic beauty of ‘Thank You’ and ‘Ramble On’, really is something special when you hear it on these first UK pressings !! They all come pounding out at you !! The vinyl easily grades as EXCELLENT. The ORIGINAL LIGHT BROWN E.J. Day sleeve is in good order also, with NO SPLITS OR TEARS. There is some wear apparent on the edges and the spine and a name written in pencil on the inside. This I would grade as VG. The record comes with its poly lined ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE which is also in very good condition. A TRULY FANTASTIC example of this seminal album !!
