ATTENTION LED ZEPPELIN COLLECTORS!
AFTER MANY YEARS OF COLLECTING,A LOCAL COLLECTOR AND AUDIO FANATIC HAS DECIDED TO GRADUALLY PRUNE DOWN HIS COLLECTION RESULTING IN THE CLEANEST AND CLEAREST COPIES I HAVE SEEN OF THESE ALBUMS IN YEARS. THIS WEEK I HAVE SOME OF HIS LED ZEPPELIN ALBUMS WHICH ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITIONS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL UK EARLY 2ND PRESSING OF 1ST EDITION STEREO EDITION(THERE WERE NO MONOS!) OF THE FIRST LED ZEPPELIN ALBUM:"LED ZEPPELIN" BUT UNLIKE THE MAJORITY OF EDITIONS FROM THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE THIS ONE IS IN VERY NICE,NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION!
UK POLYDOR PRESSED ATLANTIC 588171-LATER REPRESSES HAD "K"PREFIXES AND DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS AS WELL AS DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGNS! THIS 2ND PRESSING OF THE FIRST EDITION STILL HAS THE EARLIEST RED/MAROON/WHITE COLOUR LABELS! THIS IS CLASSED AS A 2ND PRESSING AS IT HAS THE "WARNER BROTHERS/7 ARTS" PUBLISHING CREDITS BUT IS STILL FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE! ONLY THE VERY EARLIEST LABELS HAD THE "SUPERHYPE" CREDIT AND OF COURSE MOST LED ZEPPELIN COLLECTORS WILL WANT BOTH VERSIONS ON THE SHORT LIVED RED/MAROON LABELS!.THIS LP HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE MATRIXES WHICH ARE A//1 and B//1.
NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A FEW LIGHT AND MOSTLY FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT.A SHORT LIVED CLICK NEAR THE START OF THE TRACK"BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU"THAT LASTS APPROX 15 SECONDS WITH A COUPLE OF ISOLATED "POPS"ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER AND THE ODD ISOLATED "POP" ON A FEW OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS ON OTHER TRACKS BUT THAT IS BEING REALLY,REALLY STRICT! MOST OF THE DISC SOUNDS EXCELLENT AND WAY,WAY BETTER THAN MOST PRESSINGS OF 1969 THAT I HAVE EVER FOUND! THE LABELS HAVE NO SPINDLE WEAR,WRITING,STAINING OR FADING.!
THE VINYL HAS A DEPTH OF BASS AND RANGE THAT CD CANNOT COMPETE WITH!
DURING THE LATE 1960s AND EARLY 1970s,RECORDS WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT,SOMETIMES TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THIS ESSENTIAL ALBUM IN ALL IT'S VINYL GLORY! BE PREPARED FOR A LOT OF INTEREST IN THIS LP AS ORIGINAL PRESSINGS USUALLY GO FOR HIGH PRICES!
THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER IS PRINTED BY MacNEILL UNLIKE LATER ONES! THERE ARE A FEW LARGE CREASES,SELLOTAPE REMOVAL STAIN ACROSS PART OF THE BOTTOM EDGE AND A LITTLE FAINT/MILD STAINING BUT NO WRITING!
HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL "PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS" POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "MADE IN ENGLAND" AND "BRITISH PATENT NUMBER" REFERENCE.
GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
GREAT INVESTMENT!!!
TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!
PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY PHOTOS TRYING TO CAPTURE JUST HOW GOOD THIS EXAMPLE IS!
A LOW,REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE!
YOU MIGHT FIND CHEAPER COPIES BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL BE AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE!
YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!
SUPERB SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
