Description

Listen to an original pressing of Led Zeppelin's first Studio album, a very rare first pressing. Perfect for a Zeppelin collector, this is the first mix, a little different than the many reissues out there. This record was printed with an Atlantic label in purple and brown. Very few of these around.  Vinyl is in VG+ condition, has a few light marks on side 2 I pictured, these do not affect the sound nor do they make the record skip. Sleeve in is VG condition, pictured all usual damage and wear for a record with this age. Spin is intact. It is said that the purple/brown Stereo labels were only produced on Atlantic releases when pressed at RCA Records Pressing plant, Indianapolis. Some say these issues are "club" issues but no proof on release. Others feel that these were created from stock Atco labels to fill the need. "Club" or press error, a very rare label.   This label is rare and only appeared on a few titles from around 8130 to 8200. The Led Zeppelin album error commands premium prices, since not only is the label in error, but side 1 of the album is a different mix from the regular pressing.  Also side 2 does sound a little different from the standard issue. There is a long pause between "Black Mountain Side" and "Communication Breakdown", where the standard issue had no silence at all. And there is an unusually long silence between "Communication Breakdown" and "I Can't Quit You Baby", much longer than was on the standard issue. Happy bidding.
