EXTREMELY RARE & HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE ITEM!

 

This auction is for a STILL SEALED, UNOPENED and NUMBERED 2 of 3  MH  Original boxed set of the Classic Records Led Zeppelin Audiophile 45 RPM Series Complete Recordings. This Road Case has special significance and collectability because it comes from Classic Records’ founder Michael Hobson’s personal archive.

 

RTH 3001-45 (includes all 48 one-sided records, with original books, covers and road case)

 

In 2006 Classic Records outdid themselves with the comprehensive Led Zeppelin Box set. There has never been an undertaking quite like the production of this box set. In addition to the Super Vinyl Profile 200 gram Quiex SV-P technology, Classic Records produced these on single sided 12" records at 45 rpm speed. Every Led Zeppelin album was mastered directly from the original master recordings.

 

48 records total:

SD 8216-45 Led Zeppelin I (4 Disc Set)

SD 8236-45 Led Zeppelin II (4 Disc Set)

SD 7201-45 Led Zeppelin III (4 Disc Set)

SD 7208-45 Led Zeppelin IV (4 Disc Set

SD 7255-45 Houses Of The Holy (4 Disc Set)

SS 2200-45 Physical Graffiti (8 Disc Set)

SS 2201-45 Song Remains the Same (8 Disc Set)

SS 8416-45 Presence (4 Disc Set)

SS 16002-45 In Through the Out Door (4 Disc Set)

SS 90051-45 Coda (4 Disc Set)

 

Authentic reproductions of the original sleeve art & labels with the additional discs housed in individual white jackets, presented in a heavy duty road case.

 

A very limited number of these boxed sets were produced and sold out almost immediately upon announcement of their availability and no more were made. This unopened set came directly from Michael Hobson’s (founder of Classic Records) personal archives of Classic Records titles and is numbered 2 of 3 MH.  Of further significance is the fact that Hobson was an absolute fanatic and insisted that his archive copies be “hand selected” from pressings that came from the first stamper, but only after the first stamper had broken in. He personally chose the best copies for each record.  This means that the three known Hobson sets are the "creme de la creme" and represent the absolute pinnacle of desirability and collectability. Further, this set has not been moved from the climate controlled air-conditioned storage for all these years. This unopened box set is in the factory sealed outer carton as shown in the pictures.  This box will be shipped in another outer box with careful packing to ensure that the road case and its outer box are kept in new condition.  Additionally, this set comes with a letter of authenticity signed by Michael Hobson to insure future value.

Good luck!
