Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years.

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

I will NOT post this item without insurance and recorded in some way (UK or REST OF WORLD).

SO HERE WE GO....... THE RAREST LED ZEPPELIN PRESSINGS OF HOUSES OF THE HOLY

For sale here is --LED ZEPPELIN--HOUSES OF THE HOLY-- UK VERY FIRST PRESS--

ATLANTIC K 50014

MATRIX NUMBERS..... A2   B2    STERLING RL ON BOTH SIDES    Please see the close-up pictures for full matrix details.

SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD and UN-LAMINATED. This is the VERY FIRST printing of this sleeve. It is in SUPER condition with light to moderate wear. It is very flat and square. The colours are very strong and vibrant without fadeing. The bottom edges are in N/MINT condition with almost no wear. The top edgesare also in N/MINT condition. The front is very tidy with NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS  AND NO STAINING, AND NO SURFACE RUB some very minor creases. The rear is in similar condition with asome very light surface rub at the top showing the curve of the vinyl within. The opening edges are in lovely N/MINT condition. The spine shows almost no signs of age with a miniscule touch of rub to the right hand edge, but there is no splits. The tips of the corners have minor wear and 'dinks'.  All in all this is in brilliant condition for a sleeve of this age. EX+

OBI.....The all so important information strip has some wear and discolouration, but it is in one piece and fully readable. There are 2 1 inch splits under the word LED and the right hand side has a small area that has worn through. Please take note of the picture. Ex-

INNER..... The original lightly textured lyric inner is NOT SPLIT and has NO WRITIND, just a little age fading. EX+

LABELS..... Very nice condition undamaged labels. No writing or stickers or tears and only minor spindle marks and almost NO spindle wear. N/MINT

VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see a few very faint surface hair lines which are very light and caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve.  In normal daylight this album looks PRISTINE.  I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage and stereo separation. There are dust crackles that can be heard only in the quiet parts of the music or between tracks, but a professional clean could sort out most of that. This really is a great copy, not mint but any collector would be delighted to add to their collection. EX+ / EX+. SUPERB AUDIO QUALITY.

GREAT CONDITION 1ST PRESS AND THE OBI STRIP!!
