Led Zeppelin I 2000 180 Gram Classic Records Reissue NM + 24/96 Rip Unobtanium

$

150

I am the original owner of this item, bought new and played twice! Classic Records SD 8216 mastered by Bernie Grundman. This is the the FIRST pressing by Classic Records of Led Zeppelin I on 180 gram vinyl - note that the "O" on "STEREO" touches the circular pressing rim (the 200 gram release reaches much further). Many feel this pressing is the most desirable - both in rarity and in sonics.

Includes the record, cover and insert. All items are rated as near mint, but are essentially new.

Dead Wax Info:

Side A: SD-8126-A BG
Side B: SD-8126-B

What makes this listing “Unobtanium” is in addition to the vinyl album, you are also getting access to a 24bit/96kHz hi-res digital download rip of this pressing done by Jack The Ripper (JTR). Jack has been ripping vinyl for years and utilizes a top-notch analog rig and impeccable processing all done by hand thru industry leading software. Basically, this means you will have a digital version of this wonderful vinyl pressing that rivals a CD in terms of noise - clicks, pops and other abnormalities normally associated with vinyl are removed leaving only the glorious music. Information on downloading the digital rip will be sent after the return period for this item has expired. ????
