	£		110
	$		146

This is from my own collection, I am not a dealer, in the next few months I am selling off part of my collection many rarities and collectable, no filler! Thanks for looking!

This is your opportunity to buy a rare

"Lemon Song" and "Shes a Woman" errors on Red Plum Label LZ2 copy!

later versions had "Shes Just a Woman" a liittle later "Killin Floor" was substituted for Lemon song (impending litigation change at the time)

so this is a super rare Press !

Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarety and attraction for collection purposes, the record and sleeve are original and coming up 48 to years old

Led zeppelin II recorded on their "mayhem tours" in USA in 1969, this is very much the sound of a band at work and finding their direction.

The classic tracks are here by the bucketful, Whole Lotta Love, Lemon Song, Heartbreaker all jump off the grooves with incredible clarity.

Page got what he wanted here soundwise and the mixing done at various locations dictated by tour schedule are a credit to the producer.

This recording really put Zeppelin on the map and Atlantic had to give the highest advance to make sure Peter Grants Boys didn't look elsewhere, one of the greatest acts in rock history were in business to stay for a long time to come.

Litigation copy !

Only the first presses came out with "Lemon Song" On the label, this was hastily retitled on Peter Grants orders on later presses for fear of impending litagation from the estate of "blind lemon jefferson"

Grab yourself a piece of rock history!

These are getting harder to find in anything like this condition, also Plant gets songwriting credits for the first time as he is considered "permanent" following US reaction to the 12 month old line up.

The Record

Matrix A2 B5

Vinyl is "Very Good+Condition"

Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is sold for its rarety rather than for its condition

VGC+ with light surface scrathes, lines (see photos) and some minor scuffs and scrapes from sleeve removal over the years, bear in mind this is a 48 year old vinyl record! Nice fat pre oil crisis 60s vinyl wow ! truly a collectors dream...at this price! (close to Near Ex in most tracks on audio)

Great highs and lows great audio.

At the start of side 2  light "static" which is audible before jimmy Page hits the first note in track 1 "Heartbreaker" after music starts all clear throughout. cant stress enough how loud this cut is!...

this is a great playing copy, great audio from this 1969 A2 B5 press.

No skips or sticks or jumps , we playtested on our super fussy Kenwood light tracking deck as well as the Rega all clear and  sounding great.

 No jumps or sticks on our Rega 3 a professional clean may assist (we don't do this as its an individual thing) there is some static in quieter places but not many of those..

Plays fantastic with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but not many of those!

The labels are "excellent condition" are clean bright and free of writing doodles or stickers and retain great bold colours. 

See pictures in the listing you can see the very light surface lines only on the record.

Plays clear with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but not many of those!

Nice Thick fat 70s pre oil crisis vinyl very flat on the table.

The sleeve

Very Good Condition+

Has the original "Plastic Bags can be Dangerous" inner in good order(see pic) record supplied in new good quality inner sleeve also,

Having done it's job over 48 years the sleeve has some ring wear and rounding corners but no rips or tears on the "EJ Day" London W1 sleeve with the "uptight and Outasight" Atlantic appreciation society (17-19 Stratford Place, London, W1)  message (not on later versions) (see photos) VGC

No splits or tears, colours are good and not a lot fading, the thick card holds up well, no writing , names or stickers.

No worrying faults or Horrors!

Having done it's job over 48 years the sleeve has some ring wear (see photos rear cover)  and general removal and use wear.

there is the usual finger removal soiling to the white parts ofthis sleeve (see pictures in the listing) but light nothing drastic. the spine is still readable, now showing wear. no writing or tape repairs or heavy soiling on this one.

Kept in a PVC sleeve for many years vertical in storage. The spine is not torn or broken .

The corners are a little rounded. There is historic water damage on front not too obvious see photos.

No splits or tears, colours are good and clear only wear from use over the years to the sleeve , the thick card holds up well, no writing , names or stickers. the rear cover shows some ringwear see photos, the rest of the cover is looking in good order.some spine wear is visible.

on the whole a good working sleeve and a great collectable Excellent 1st UK press 1969 vinyl.

This is a great copy for someone looking for a wholly original 1st press of this great album. not if the buyer wants a "Mint" " or a reissue this is a "used 47 year old vinyl record and sleeve"

"Nr Mint" and some "Excellent" advertised copies are almost impossible now £200+ and the rarer "livin lovin wreck copies" £500+ (see my other listings)

This is a great "lemon song on label" A2 B5 pressing these were only produced in Red Plum with "Lemon Song" and *shes a woman*on the label for the first few months of release...a bargain at under £150!

on later copies "Killing Floor" was substituted for "Lemon Song " and Livin Lovin corrected to  "Shes just a woman". the early 1 st presses are now getting hard to find in reasonable condition as they were "played"
