LOOK VERY CAREFULLY AT THE PHOTOS AS THEY FORM A MAJOR PART OF THE SALES DESCRIPTION.
UP FOR AUCTION IS LED ZEPPELIN 4- 1971- PLUM RED LABEL -ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL 1ST U.K PRESSING.
THIS PRESSING HAS THE CORRECTED FIRST SIDE MATRIX NUMBERS. INSTEAD OF THE CORRECT A3, THE SIDE 1 MATRIX ENDED WITH B1.THAT ENDING WAS OVERSTAMPED WITH XX, AND THE CORRECT ENDING A3 WAS STAMPED TO THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT, AS ATLANTIC WERE DETERMINED TO GET THESE FEW RECORDS OUT AND SOLD.THIS MATRIX IS ONLY ON THE VERY FIRST RECORDS MADE,MOST LIKELY BEFORE THE STICKERED COPIES THAT CAME LATER.
THE POSITION OF THE BAND NAME TEXT ON THIS RECORD IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO ALL OTHER PRESSINGS AS IT IS IN THE PLUM AREA OF THE LABEL.
IT ALSO HAS PETER GRANT LISTED AS THE PRODUCER IN THE PLUM AREA OF THE LABEL WHICH WAS RAPIDLY REMOVED ON LATER LABELS.
IT HAS THE VERY EARLIEST KINNEY MUSIC CREDITS IN THE PLUM AREA OF THE LABELS WHICH WERE ALSO REMOVED ON LATER LABELS.
THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT BY FAR THE RAREST LABEL FORMAT OF ALL.
MOTHER STAMPERS: SIDE 1. 1110 (IMPOSSIBLY EARLY)
SIDE 2. 1110 (IMPOSSIBLY EARLY)
SIDE 1 HAS "PECKO DUCK" WRITTEN IN THE DEADWAX.
SIDE 2 HAS "PORKY" WRITTEN IN THE DEADWAX.
THIS PRESSING HAS THE A3/B4 MATRIXES WHICH ARE IMPOSSIBLY RARE WITH THE FIRST PRESS LABELS.
THE GATEFOLD COVER IS UNLAMINATED-FLAT MATT FINISH. A TRUE 1ST PRESS COVER.
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS NOTORIOUSLY FRAGILE. IT HAS THE FLIP BACKS ON BOTH SIDES.IT IS SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM AND SIDES BUT NOT RIGHT DOWN THE SIDES THOUGH. SOME PEOPLE USE STICKY TAPE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVENT DONE THAT TO MAINTAIN THE INNERS ORIGINALITY.
THE COVER IS IN GREAT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE.
THE RECORD SPINE IS IN GREAT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE.
THE LABELS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION FOR THEIR AGE.
THE VINYL HAS A LOVELY DEEP DARK LUSTRE.
THE VINYL HAS A FAIR FEW SURFACE MARKS ON EACH SIDE BUT THEY DONT IN ANY WAY EFFECT THE SOUND REPRODUCTION.
THE RECORD HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND COMES IN AN NAGAOKA 102 ANTI-STATIC RECORD SLEEVE.
I HAVE PLAYED THIS RECORD RIGHT THROUGH ON MY LINN SONDEK TURN TABLE (SEE PHOTO) WHICH IS A RUTHLESSLY REVEALING PLAYER AND I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THE SOUND IS UTTERLY AMAZING. NO OTHER COPY COMES CLOSE TO AN ORIGINAL PLUM LABEL PRESSING. IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, EXTREMELY DYNAMIC AND PLAYS LIKE A NEW RECORD.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO HEAR AN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS PLUM LABEL TO BELIEVE IT. SIMPLY SUPERB. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SO HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. EVERY SERIOUS LED ZEPPELIN COLLECTOR SHOULD ASPIRE TO OWNING AT LEAST ONE ORIGINAL U.K PLUM LABEL 1ST PRESSING.
A GENUINE PLUM LABEL FIRST PRESS LED ZEPPELIN 4 IN ANY TYPE OF CONDITION IS BECOMING EXTREMELY RARE.
A FIRST PRESS COPY WITH ALL THE CORRECT DETAILS VIRTUALLY NEVER COMES ON THE MARKET.
THIS IS A GENUINE ULTRA RARE FIRST EVER ORIGINAL AND IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BUY ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY COLLECTABLE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING.
