Description
LED ZEPPELIN II (PLUM ATLANTIC 588198 STEREO). HERE IT IS, THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING YOU WILL FIND. ONLY A SMALL HANDFUL OF THESE ALBUMS REACHED THE SHOPS BEFORE THE RECORD COMPANY NOTICED THE LABEL ERROR AND VERY QUICKLY CORRECTED THE MISTAKE. OF COURSE, I AM TALKING ABOUT THE LEGENDARY "LIVIN' LOVIN' WRECK (SHE'S A WOMAN) LABEL GAFF. NOT SURE HOW MANY OF THESE COPIES ESCAPED BUT WORD HAS IT , NOT MANY !
FIRSTLY, THE SLEEVE HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF HANDLING WEAR & RUBBING ON THE EDGE'S THE SPINE IS STILL INTACT AND FAIRLY STRONG. A LITTLE MORE WEAR TO THE CORNERS (SEE PHOTO SECTION). THE FRONT, BACK & INSIDE GATEFOLD IS VERY TIDY AND HAS VERY LITTLE CREASING. THE PRINT IS THE LIGHTER SHADE OF BROWN WHICH DOES TIE IN WITH EARLY PRESSINGS. OVERALL, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GRADE AS VERY GOOD PLUS MAYBE SOME WOULD SAY BETTER BUT I WILL LEAVE IT THERE.
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED IT'S HEALTHY SHEEN AND STILL PLAYS VERY WELL ON BOTH SIDES. YOU HAVE THE ODD LIGHT MARK AND PAPER DRAGS BUT OVERALL VERY CLEAN. I WOULD GRADE THE VINYL EXCELLENT MINUS . I TEST PLAYED IT BEFORE LISTNG AND FOUND THE AUDIO SHARP & ENJOYABLE.
THE LABELS ARE FINE EXCEPT ON SIDE TWO YOU HAVE A VERY FAINT NAME IN PENCIL "TOM" BUT TRUST ME IT'S FAINT. THE MATRIX STAMPERS ARE (588198 A/2) (588198 B/2). THE OVERALL ALBUM IS NOT WITHOUT LITTLE FAULTS WHICH I HAVE LISTED ABOVE AS BEST I CAN BUT IT IS A HONEST COPY THAT SOUNDS AND LOOKS VERY WELL. LET'S FACE IT, FIND ANOTHER ONE ! THANKS FOR LOOKING.
