Description
HOTH a 1st pressing from 1973 on UK Atlantic label. Matrix A2/B2. Etching 'RL Sterling' - indicating that this is the Robert Ludwig cut. Remember that labels which show the WB logo in the perimeter text are later copies. This one is the very very 1st issue. The LP comes housed in an original matt gatefold cover. Also included is the original textured inner sleeve with lyrics. 100% complete and 100% original.
Vinyl (Vg+) Retains much of its original shine and looks to have only seen light use. Under close inspection there are a number of marks one of which I'll detail below. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, VERYGOOD+ level of playback with one deviation. Intros and inbetweens are quiet and you really need this on HOTH because a lot of the music is low-key. The audio comes across with good clarity and occasional interference. The only noticeable deviation is in 'No Quarter' where a feelable mark causes a few crackles throughout the track. Other than that any interference is light and certainly not invasive. The audio quality is excellent, on this, one of Zep's finest efforts.
Cover (Vg+) Again, has clearly been looked after. There's some light handling wear in places and a couple of light creases - nothing unsightly though. There's a bit of edge wear, but nothing significant. The interior is well preserved and overall the cover retains great rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) No splits only a couple of tiny brown spots, but otherwise fine.
Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
