Description
This is from my own collection, I am not a dealer, in the next few months I am selling off part of my collection, some rarities and collectable, no filler! Thanks for looking!
Atlantic `Swan Song` pressing 1st UK press A1B1 the very earliest marixes from March 1976 to buy and keep!
Please note that this album is complete and original year old 1st UK pressing from 1976 and is sold for its rarity and its Nr Mint condition.
To be clear this is an original First UK pressing, with Embossed Sleeve
Probabaly the most difficult Zeppelin to find a clean sleeve, this one has been vault stored over 30 years its very very hard to get one in this condition as 50yrs handling and storage take their toll even on careful owners.
THIS IS A VAULT STORED COPY SUPERB AUDIO
The Famous Swan Song label launched by the band in the previuos year.
This was Led Zeppelins 7th Studio albulm and realeased March 76 after various delays related to Robert Plants car accident on Rhodes the previous year , some of these vocals were recorded sitiing down in the studio so difficult to visualise when you you listen to how clear and powerfull and potent they are, recorded in musicland studios Munich as Plant and rest of band were now UK tax exiles.
Robert Plant famously had dedicated `Dazed and Confused` at the their legendary May 75 Earls Court London shows to the UKs then Chancellor Denis Healy a reference to how many artists were leaving the UK in 75 due to taxes in excess of 90 percent on income.
`Achliies Last Stand` has proved to stand the test and is still regarded among their finest works.
`Nobodys Fault but mine` and `Tea for One` an awesome blues in the vein of `since ive been loving you` are all standout tracks .
it went to Number 1 Albulm in the US and UK almost immediatley on release.
Nr Mint The Vinyl
There is some only SLIGHT static on intro to "Royal Orleans" light static evident in some quieter passages but not many.Anyone are looking for "mint" or record store new copies please see other listings and note this is not one of those. its a 50 year old vault stored copy . professional clean can help (we don't do this as its a personal thing)
Plays fantastic with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing)
The labels are free of writing doodles or stickers and retain great bold colours with no fade we can notice under light., the pictures show they are very very clean with few spindle lines, the labels have `Made in uk` and track timing which later copies dont have , `Atlantic and Stu` are etched on the run out .
