LIVIN LOVIN WRECK !!!!!!!!

ANOTHER FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, AND WHAT AN ICONIC ALBUM, AS IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LED ZEPPELIN ALBUMS EVER MADE. THIS IS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WITH "LIVIN LOVIN WRECK" ON THE LABEL. THE AUDIO DIFFERENCE FROM THIS 1ST PRESS TO THE NEXT BATCH OF PRESSES IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT AS THIS HAS A CLEARER AND MORE CRISP AUDIO SOUND TO IT. THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS, AND ALSO A VERY SILLY START PRICE, FOR THIS ZEPPELIN MONSTER OF AN ALBUM !!!!!

THIS IS A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS ::  A V 2  ::   B V 2  .

ON THE RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC  LABEL  :: 588198 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL LIGHTER BROWN PRINTED AND MADE BY  E.J. DAY & Co, LONDON W11 :: SOLID FULLY READABLE SPINE AND ALSO SOLID TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WITH ONLY SOME VERY TINY BITS OF LIGHT RUB. THERE IS A TINY MARK TO THE LEFT OF THE 'L' IN 'ZEPPELIN' ON THE FRONT ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: THERE IS THE USUAL FAINT RING WEAR TO THE BACK AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS ( PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR A VISUAL DESCRIPTION ) AND WITH NO OTHER ISSUES :: VG+ .

VINYL :: FIRSTLY YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS ANYWHERE AND IN FACT THERE IS NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING EXPERIENCE, AND AS I SAID ABOVE THERE IS SO MUCH DIFFERENCE TO THIS EARLIEST OF PRESSES TO LATER ONES. THE AUDIO IS CLEARER AND IS A JOY TO LISTEN TO. DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU THE BEST AUDIO DESCRIPTION AS I WILL DO TRACK BY TRACK. NOW VISUALLY IT IS NOT THE BEST, BUT THERE ARE NO NASTY MARKS OR SCRATCHES SO NO AUDIO PROBLEMS.  ON SIDE 1 THERE IS A FINE THIN SCUFF LINE AND IS ONLY VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE, AND IT CAUSES NO AUDIO PROBLEMS AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND ONE OR TWO SMALL FINE HAIRLINES. SIDE 2  HAS A FEW MORE FINE HAIRLINES, BUT THESE ARE ALL COSMETIC AND DISAPPEAR WHEN ANGLED AWAY FROM LIGHT, BUT WHEN YOU READ THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS NO ISSUES .

TRACK 2 :: HAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY START ON THE SHORT QUIET INTRO. THERE ARE SIX VERY FAINT BACKGROUND TICKS IN THE MIDDLE AND ANOTHER THREE TOWARDS THE END .

TRACK 3 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 4 :: HAS JUST A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE VERY END IN THE QUIET PART INTO THE RUN OFFS .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS NINE FAINT BACKGROUND TICKS DURING THE TRACK CAUSED BY THAT LIGHT SCUFF MENTIONED ABOVE. 

TRACK 2 :: HAS THREE FAINT BACKGROUND TICKS AT THE START .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

TRACK 5 :: PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES .

AND THAT'S IT !!!!!! IT ALL SOUNDS A LOT BUT IF YOU GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN, YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS NOT MUCH AT ALL. THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE AND NOTHING OVER THE AUDIO, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR ENJOYMENT OF LISTENING TO THIS SUPERB VINYL!!!!

SO SUMMING UP, NOT THE PRETTIEST UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT BUT THEY ARE COSMETIC APART FROM THAT LIGHT SCUFF ON TRACK 1, AND APART FROM THIS ALL THE OTHER MARKS DISAPPEAR WHEN ANGLED AWAY FROM LIGHT. THE AUDIO IS REALLY A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!! SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX . 

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT. THERE IS HOWEVER A STICKER REMOVAL MARK WHICH  HAS BEEN NEATLY COLOURED IN ON LABEL 1 ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) HARD TO GRADE THIS, SO WITHOUT THE MARK ::  EX/EX+ . PLEASE REMEMBER THE GRADE WILL BE LOWER WITH THE STICKER MARK !!!!

POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING OR SPLITS, 'PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS' ::  EX- .

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM ON THE PLANET, WITH THE EARLIEST 'LIVIN LOVIN WRECK' LABEL. VISUALLY NOT THE BEST BUT THE SUPERB AUDIO MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR IT. AS I SAID ABOVE, NO RESERVE AND A VERY SILLY START PRICE, SO ONE NOT TO FORGET !!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
