Description

ID no. 9008100 Title: Presence Test Pressing Artist: Zeppelin, Led Product Condition: SS Cover Condition: SS Description: This auction is for a STILL SEALED single LP Test Pressing marked (A/B) of the Classic Records 180gram reissue of Led Zeppelin's "Presence". These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and less than 20 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value. It's taken a while, but this 1976 release has earned it's place with the other great titles from the biggest rock band of that decade. Languishing for years in the intimidating strength of its predecessor (Physical Graffiti), Presence was quickly recorded and issued mainly while vocalist Robert Plant sported a cast on his leg from a car accident. It's heavy on the rock side featuring high octane guitar from Jimmy Page and no acoustic guitars or keyboards to be found. John Bonham's thunderous bashing and layers of guitar are highlighted in "Achilles Last Stand" while "Nobody's Fault But Mind", a reworking of a blues tune by Blind Willie Johnson gets goosed in the rear Zep-style by Page & Co. Other highlights include For Your Life, Royal Orleans, Candy Store Rock, Hots On For Nowhere and Tea Is For One.
