Description
Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin (Turquoise Text) UK 1st Pressing 1969 EX/VG++.
Vinyl is EX+ (this record is very, very close to near mint, it retains all of its original gloss with very little in the way of surface marks, this is a simply stunning example. The record plays without any skips, clicks or pop, there is a little surface noise on the run-in and run-out, but that isn't at all distracting and I'm certain this could be removed with ultrasonic or wet vacuum cleaning.)This is an absolute beauty of a record, that I'm certain will give close to perfect audio after a cleaning. We do not undertake cleaning simply because some collectors have different opinions about wet cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning. The record plays EX as is.
Sleeve is VG++ (Firstly the turquoise text still pops out and looks fabulous, the grey strip is still clearly visible at the bottom of the sleeve, a little crazing to the laminate please see pics and a slight wear split to the bottom seam, please see pics. Altogether a sleeve in great condition, very well preserved for 53 years old)
Labels are EX (minimal if any spindle marks, there's a little residue from a sticker please see photos and read my explanationbelow)
Original poly lined inner bag included it's VG+ (somewhat discoloured with age, otherwise perfect) Record is kept and will be sent in an archive grade inner bag.
I suspect that this record was originally a promotional copy, there's a little sticker residue on the label (see pics) and the slightest sign of sticker on the back of the sleeve (impossible to show in a photo, I've tried) Polydor who pressed Atlantic Records in the UK in 1969 didn't issue 'white label' promos, they simply put a sticker on the label and on the sleeve stating 'Promotional Copy, not for resale.
Misprinted label: 1, "3, 4. as Superhype Music and then 3. again as Jewel Music.
Matrix Numbers:
- Side A: 588171 A//1
- Side B: 588171 B//1
We have extensive experience in handling, grading and shipping rare and expensive records.
Due to the potential value of this record, it will be sent fully insured through registered mail, I would humbly suggest that if you live within a couple of hours' drive of Market Harborough, Leicestershire that you collect the record in person. International buyers are more than welcome the record will be sent tracked, signed for and fully insured. I'm sorry about the costs of this service, however, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you for reading and good luck bidding.
