Description
On offer here is without doubt the very rarest item I have ever listed on eBay.
This is a box set of Led Zeppelin’s first four albums pressed on 200 gram Quiex SV-P made by Classic Records of the USA in 2000.
The albums are Led Zeppelin One, Two Three and Four.
Not only that, but it comes with a 12” one sided white label TEST PRESSING of Stairway To Heaven.
When Classic Records started to repress the Led Zeppelin catalogue and made then available to buyers in the U.K., a very small number of these box sets were made to help promote the series.
In the individual records that came after, there was a card included which you had to fill in in and send off to try and win a Test Pressing, however with the box sets they came with a Test Pressing! As mentioned, this is a one sided pressing of Stairway To Heaven, dated November 10th 2000.
I lived near a large independent record store back in the late 90’s / early 2000’s and bought rather a lot of records from them. Because of this I was offered the chance to buy one of these box sets ( they were eligible to order due to their size and turnover ) whilst it was expensive back then, I decided to go for it.
I opened the plastic bags but did not play any of the records, they are as close to Mint and Unplayed as can be, including the box!!
Subsequent to the box’s sets, Classic Records produced a metal flight case with all of Zeppelins stuff on single 45RPM singles, pressed on 200 Quiex Vinyl!! Unfortunately I could not stretch to that as it was £900 back then!
So here we have a one off extremely rare set in virtuality Mint condition, never to be repeated as I have never seen another one and if any are around they will probably never be offered for sale.
The set will only be sent by SPECIAL DELIVERY due to the value and weight. Please ignore the reference to Second Class on the postage as I could not seem to get Special Delivery from the options available to me on eBay.
It will be sent within three days of receiving payment by PayPal only please and this is only open to UK bidders.
It will be packed very securely in a “Pizza” style mailing box specifically designed for LP box sets by Covers 33, and as used by Mail Order Record stores.
Any questions please ask me, and good luck.
