Description
On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Led Zeppelin called "Physical Graffiti" and is an ORIGINAL 1975 UK 'Standard' 1st pressing on the 1st Press Swan Song label!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! IT IS ONE OF LED ZEPPELIN'S RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS 'PICTURE' INNER SLEEVES, AND 1ST PRESS 'FOLD-OUT' INSERT!!!! HOWEVER WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' PRESSINGS EVER MADE (AND CERTAINLY WELL INSIDE THE 1ST YEAR OF RELEASE!)!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS DOUBLE LP!!!! EXTREMELY EARLY UK PRESSINGS LIKE THIS ONE, ARE SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - AND AS THIS LP WAS PRESSED THROUGHOUT THE 1970s & 1980s - IT MAKES IT VITALLY IMPORTANT TO SHOW THAT THIS IS A VERY VERY EARLY UK PRESSING INDEED - AND CERTAINLY WELL INSIDE THE 1ST YEAR OF RELEASE!!!! ALSO 'COVER & RECORD' SWAPPING ARE COMMON ON THIS LP - SO AGAIN IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO SHOW THAT ALL PARTS OF THIS LP ARE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT TO THIS VERY EARLY UK PRESSING!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS 100% ORIGINAL IN EVERY RESPECT (BOUGHT BY ITS 1 PREVIOUS OWNER IN ITS ORIGINAL CHART RUN!) - AND SO EVERY COMPONENT IS 100% ORIGINAL FROM THE YEAR OF RELEASE!!!! I WILL NOW EXPLAIN ALL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 'STANDARD' 1ST PRESS DETAILS BELOW:
FIRSTLY THIS DOUBLE LP HAS THICK QUALITY VINYL AND MUCH THICKER THAN LATER PRESSINGS!!!! SECONDLY THIS LP COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS 'FOLD-OUT' INSERT - WITH A 'SHINY' FRONT & 'TEXTURED' BACK SURFACE (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!! THIRDLY THE 'PICTURE' INNER SLEEVES ARE MADE WITH THICK QUALITY CARD WITH A 'TEXTURED' INSIDE (LATER PRESSINGS ARE MUCH THINNER - AND HAVE 'SHINY' INSIDES!) AND HAS THE UK 1ST PRESS CAT NUMBER ON BOTH (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!! FOURTHLY THE MATRIX ARE VERY VERY EARLY INDEED - BEING A/B/C/D1 (LATER ONES WERENT!)!!!! AND LASTLY THIS DOUBLE LP HAS THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' STYLE OF BOX SHAPED 'WINDOW' COVER (LATER PRESSINGS HAVE MUCH THINNER COVERS), WITH 'RED LETTERING' ON THE SPINE & THE CORRECT ADDRESS ON THE REVERSE (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!! IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO STRESS THAT ALL PARTS OF THIS LP ARE UK 1ST PRESSED AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL TO THE 'YEAR OF RELEASE'!!!! AND THIS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT AS OFTEN ON LATER PRESSINGS EXPORTED GERMAN COVERS, INNERS, OR RECORDS WERE USED. BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!! THIS LP IS A VERY VERY EARLY PRESSING INDEED - AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE W/B TINY LOGOS ON THE LABELS (WHICH WERE INTRODUCED ON A FEW MONTHS AFTER RELEASE!) - IT HAS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE OTHER 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DETAIL, WITH A UK 1ST PRESS COVER, UK 1ST PRESS 'PICTURE' INNERS, AND UK 1ST PRESS 'FOLD-OUT' INSERT - AND IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST UK PRESSINGS THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!

No is SSK 89400 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Swan Song Labels (see picture) and is a Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!
The record labels to BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely AWESOME condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 1 absolutely ULTRA light scuffline trace (only visible under VERY bright light on 1 side ONLY!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOK AMAZING!!!! It is great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! BOTH records must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! WHAT AN AWESOME SET OF RECORDS!!!! Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The 1st Press 2 'Thicker' card 'Picture' inner sleeves are in SUPERB condition with NO rubbing, NO ringwear, NO edgewear (apart from the TINIEST 'touching in' trace on 1 edge!), and NO writing!!!! BOTH 'Picture' inners MUST grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!! THE MEGA RARE 'FOLD-OUT' INSERT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION - AND IT IS VERY DOUBTFUL IF IT HAS EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Box Shaped' Window Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition - and so VERY hard to find like this!!!! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (Red Letter Side words are PERFECT!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), possible very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the EXTREME corner tips, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover retains a SUPERB shape!), NO damage to ANY of the 'die-cut' windows AT ALL (PERFECT windows!), NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, only 2 or 3 TINY 'touched in' indentations to the EXTREME left, NO damage to ANY of the windows (PERFECT windows!), NO ringwear, NO yellowing, NO sticker marks, and NO writing!!!! The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - and is very VERY close to a grade above, and so very VERY hard to find like this!!!! BRILLIANT COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
