LED ZEPPELIN "THE FIRST LP"

ATLANTIC RED/MAROON/WHITE LABEL:588171.

A//1+ B//1-EARLIEST POSSIBLE UK MATRIXES! 

AN ORIGINAL UK POLYDOR PRESSED ATLANTIC 1969 LP WITH THE"SUPERHYPE" PUBLISHING CREDIT LABELS HOUSED IN A LAMINATED COVER WITH THE TURQUOISE LETTERING WHICH WAS QUICKLY REPLACED WITH THE MORE COMMON ORANGE LETTERING.

THIS IS THE RAREST AND MOST IN DEMAND LED ZEPPELIN LP AND INDEED ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs OF ALL TIME! 

THE RECORD IS NOT BRILLIANT BUT PLAYS WELL,FULLY DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE COVER IS QUITE REASONABLE  SO MIGHT BE IDEAL FOR A MIX AND MATCH IF YOUR COVER IS POOR OR IF NOTHING ELSE IS A GAP FILLER UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG BEARING IN MIND MINT VALUES TEND TO BE ABOUT £1000-ONE COPY ON EBAY AT THE MOMENT AS A BUY IT NOW FOR AN INCREDIBLE PRICE OF £1500!!!! 

This is one of the most important albums of the rock era.

THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE UK ISSUE.

I HAVE ONLY FOUND ONE COPY WITH THE TURQUOISE LETTERING BEFORE IN NEARLY 25 YEARS OF RUNNING MY SHOP AND IT WAS IN SIMILAR CONDITION!   

It only turns up only once in a blue moon as an original issue but PLEASE READ THE GRADING DESCRIPTION VERY CAREFULLY ON THIS ITEM WHICH IS WAY,WAY BELOW MY USUAL STANDARDS BUT MUST BE WELL WORTH IT AS A GAP FILLER UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG WHICH MAY BE AN EXPENSIVE AND RARE CHANCE TO HAPPEN.  

THE DISC HAS MANY,MANY MARKS AND SOME SMALL SCUFFS BUT ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE,SOME MINOR SHORT LIVED CLICKS,SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE PEAKS AND THE SURFACES LOOK BLOODY AWFUL,IT ONLY PHYSICALLY JUMPS ONCE AT THE VERY LAST FEW SECONDS OF THE TRACK"BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU"AND GENERALLY PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH LOTS OF DEEP BASS AND OF COURSE THE LOUDNESS OF THE MUSIC COVERS UP MOST OF THE SURFACE NOISE BUT MOST SERIOUS COLLECTORS WILL OWN A 2ND OR EVEN LATER PRESSING TO PLAY AND TO HAVE THIS ONE AS A SOUVENIR/GAP FILLER.

PREVIOUS OWNER'S INITIALS ON ONE OF THE LABELS BUT NO OTHER WRITING. 

I PLAYED IT THROUGH ON TWO DIFFERENT DECKS 4 TIMES AND TAKING ALL OF THE ABOVE IT PLAYS REALLY WELL,FAR BETTER THAN THE INITIAL INSPECTION WOULD SUGGEST!

NORMALLY SUCH COPIES OF LPs IN THIS CONDITION ARE THROWN OUT BY ME,WITH JUST THE COVER RETAINED FOR FUTURE USE BUT AS EXCELLENT OR EVEN NEAR MINT COPIES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,FETCHING AT LEAST £1000,I CONSIDER THIS COPY TO BE WELL WORTH HAVING IN THE MEANTIME AND IN BETWEEN TIME!!!

BETTER THAN NOTHING AND WITH A VERY TEMPTING AND REALISTIC TEMPTING £50 START!

JUST TO HAVE THE ULTRA RARE COVER IS WELL WORTH £50!!!   

Here is your chance to get one of the rarest ROCK LPs of 1969 and indeed the last 40 years! 

THE LAMINATED FRONT AND BACK COVER HAS A LOT OF CREASES,SOME TINY EDGE CUTS SOME SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT EVEN IN THIS CONDITION!  

 MOST WERE OFTEN PLAYED ON POOR QUALITY EQUIPMENT AND A FAVOURITE FOR PARTIES TO SATISFY DIFFERENT MOODS!

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

GOOD TIMES,BAD TIMES

BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU

YOU SHOOK ME

DAZED AND CONFUSED

YOUR TIME IS GONNA COME

BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE

COMMNUNICATION BREAKDOWN

I CAN'T QUIT YOU BABAY

HOW MANY MORE TIMES

****************************************** 

IF THIS DON'T SELL ON EBAY-IT WILL BE BOUND TO BE SNAPPED UP BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHERE TO FIND ME SO DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!

A STRICTLY GRADED FAIR++++ CONDITION LP BUT THE GENERAL SOUND IS NEARER TO GOOD+++.MOST OF THE TRACKS SOUNDING"VG"!!.

A REALISTIC AND INSANE LOW £50 START.

THE SLIDING SCALE OF VALUE IN THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE WOULD SUGGEST A £1000 MINT VALUED LP WOULD BE WORTH £150 IN FAIR CONDITION AND AS THIS IS A LOT BETTER SOUNDING THAN FAIR, £50 IS THE RIGHT STARTING PRICE IN MY OPINION!! 

FREE POSTAGE TO ANYONE IN THE UK INCLUDING RECORDED DELIVERY.

EUROPE £5 REST OF THE WORLD £7.

I LISTEN WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO DETECT ANY FAULTS.

MY AIM IS THE WINNER WILL GET IT AND CONSIDER IT AS DESCRIBED OR HOPEFULLY BETTER THAN THEY EXPECTED WITH THE OPINION OF MANY THAT THE DISC'S SOUND ITSELF IS NEARER TO EVEN VG THAN FAIR++++!
