Description
LED ZEPPELIN - "PHYSICAL GRAFFITI"
EXTREMELY RARE AUSTRALIA VINYL STEREO 2LP RELEASE 1975 IN ORIGINAL DIE-CUT, TOP OPEN, CARD COVER WITH ORIGINAL CARD INNER SLEEVES & FOLDOUT PRINTED THICK, QUALITY PAPER INSERT. STORED IN PROTECTIVE OUTER PLASTIC SLEEVE SINCE NEW.
MISPRINTED COVER:
THE ICONIC DIE-CUT, CUTOUT WINDOWS COVER DESIGNED BY PETER CORRISTON IS MISPRINTED.
THE DIE-CUT PROCESS USED TO CUT OUT THE WINDOWS HAS BEEN REVERSED!!??
THE FRONT OF THIS COVER HAS 17 CUTOUT WINDOWS. THE BACK HAS ONLY 16. THE EXACT REVERSE OF HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CUT. THE FRONT DIE HAS BEEN USED TO CUT THE BACK COVER AND VICE VERSA.
THE FRONT SHOULD HAVE 16, ONE FOR EACH LETTER IN THE TITLE "PHYSICAL GRAFFITI". THE BACK WAS MEANT TO HAVE 17, WITH 5 ON THE TOP STOREY (THIS WAS TO DISPLAY ALL 17 IMAGES PRINTED ON THE INNER SLEEVES).
ALL OTHER COPIES OF THIS RECORD IN OUR COLLECTION AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS I HAVE SEEN HAVE 16 WINDOWS ON THE FRONT AND 17 ON THE BACK. BUT NOT THIS ONE.
THIS ONE DOES NOT HAVE THE 4TH (FROM THE LEFT) TOP STOREY WINDOW CUTOUT ON THE BACK. IT DOES, HOWEVER, HAVE IT CUT OUT (UNNECESSARILY) ON THE FRONT. THE COVER WAS DESIGNED WITH 4 TOP STOREY WINDOWS TO ACCOMMODATE THE FIRST 4 LETTERS OF THE TITLE - P,H,Y,S. THEN THE OTHER STOREYS HAD 4 WINDOWS EACH FOR THE REST OF THE TITLE.
PICS. #1 & 2 SHOW THE EXTRA WINDOW INCORRECTLY CUT ON THE FRONT COVER, JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE STICKER. THIS CAN BE CROSS-CHECKED WITH THE DISCOGS LISTING AT www.discogs.com/release/2820232-Led-Zeppelin-Physical-Graffiti TO VERIFY THIS ANOMALY. JUST CLICK ON THE COVER PICTURE TO COMPARE BOTH TOP R/H CORNERS.
CONVERSELY, PICS. #3 & 4 OF THIS LISTING SHOW THE BACK COVER WHERE THE EXTRA WINDOW SHOULD HAVE BEEN CUT (TOP R/H CNR.). COMPARISON WITH THE BACK COVER ON THE DISCOGS SITE (FAR RIGHT) SHOWS WHERE THE EXTRA WINDOW SHOUD HAVE BEEN CUT - TO REVEAL THE "OLD-TIME" EMBRACING COUPLE ON THE INNER SLEEVE.
I HAVE CHECKED ALL EBAY & DISCOGS LISTINGS AND ONLY FOUND 1 OTHER (JAPAN PRESSING) THE SAME AS THIS ONE.
THE COVER HAS AN ORIGINAL HYPE / PRICE STICKER ON THE FRONT, NEXT TO THE EXTRA WINDOW.
HARD TO FIND A BETTER ONE THAN THIS.
