Description
THIS IS A GENUINE NEW TO THE MARKET ITEM. I BOUGHT LED ZEPP 1 AND 2 IN 1969. THEY HAVE BEEN STORED FOR MANY DECADES AND RECENTLY BROUGHT DOWN FROM THE LOFT ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER VERY EARLY CLASSICS INCLUDING BEATLES etc.
THIS LIMITED FIRST EDITION HAD A SHORT RUN BEFORE THE COVER WAS ALTERTED WHICH MAKES THIS PARTICULAR PRESS UNIQUE. I HAVE DONE A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH AFTER DISCOVERING JUST HOW SOUGHT AFTER THIS HIDDEN AND FORGOTTEN LP HAS BECOME, ALONG WITH ITS SISTER ALBUM LED ZEPPELIN 2, WHICH I ALSO HAVE FOUND WITH IT.
THIS IS THE TURQUOISE COVER VERSION WITH THE GREY STRIPE AT THE BASE. VERSION 588 171 STEREO BEARING THE UPTIGHT N' OUTASIGHT PRINT AS THE OFFICIAL ATLANTIC APPRECIATION SOCIETY, LONDON W1. ONLY 2000 COPIES OF THIS VERSION WERE PRODUCED, I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY HAVE SURVIVED OR ARE LEFT IN CIRCULATION.
THIS VERY FIRST PRESSING FEATURING A PUBLISHING CREDIT TO SUPERHYPE MUSIC. IT HAS THE INCORRECT NUMBERING IN THE PUBLISHING CREDITS 1,2,4,SUPERHYPE MUSIC, 3, JEWEL MUSIC. THE SECOND PRESS CORRECTED IT TO WARNER BROS.
THE AUTHENTIC INNER POLYLINED COVER IS CORRECT WITH THE PATENT, 800513 973939. THE ALBUM COVER HAS SURVIVED VERY WELL WITHOUT RIPS OR SERIOUS BENDS AND DINKS.THE SPINE IS LEGIBLE AND INTACT ALSO.
THE MATRIX OR RUNOUTS BEAR THE CORRECT MARKS A//1, B//1 TO CONFIRM IT AS VARIANT 1. IT ALSO HAS A CORRECTED NUMBER 8 ETCHED IN THE MATRIX I.D. BUT CURIOUSLY WAS NOT NEEDED BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL PRINT SHOWED A PRINTED 588171 ANYWAY. STRANGE !!!
I HAVE PLAYED THE ALBUM ONCE MORE AND IT HAD SOME BACKGROUND AND STUCK ON TRACK 4 SIDE 1 (DAZED AND CONFUSED) THREE MINUTES 17 SECONDS INTO THE TRACK. I THEN TOOK THIS ONE AND LED ZEPP 2 TO BE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND ALTHOUGH IT HAD BETTER SOUND, THE STICKING TRACK REMAINS, ALONG WITH THE USUAL AGE RELATED SOUNDS. IT HAS JUST TURNED 50 YEARS OLD.
ITS NOT IN MINT CONDITION BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THIS IS A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PIECE THAT IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND. EVERTHING ABOUT THE ITEM IS AUTHENTIC AND CORRECT AND IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HEAR IT AGAIN RENEWING MANY PLEASURABLE TIMES AND EVENTS, SOME OF WHICH ARE A BIT BLURRED, ITS WAS A GREAT ERA. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO OWN THIS SUPER RARE COLECTORS ALBUM, HAVE A BID.
PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR A BUY IT NOW PRICE OR ANY TRADE ENQUIRIES PLEASE. I AM AWARE OF THE VALUES THAT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED. I HAVE BEEN AS HONEST AS I POSSIBLY COULD IN ITS DESCRIPTION. GOOD LUCK
ONE OR TWO OTHER INTERESTING BITS LISTED, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK IF YOU HAVE TIME.
