Description
An original XMAS 1971 RED & PLUM killer copy by Atlantic in the UK. Matrix A6/B4. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original darker brown gatefold cover [correct for '71...not a later swap]. We also have the original '71 inner dated correctly. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In really great condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection I can only make out a couple of slight marks per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback with a couple of slightest deviations. So, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE AN AUDIO RATING like this on Zep II. Almost never will I find a Zep II original copy that gets close to this level. And when you get to witness one on a good system...you'll get to realise why folks make a big fuss about the early Red&PLum copies. The dynamics they managed to pack onto these early copies is just awesome. Bone crunchingly heavy guitar. I don't care what fancy super duper reissue says it can manage. Nothing gets close to an original clean player. NOTHING. When you get the lowkey break in WLL WIAWSNB - there's just a quiet background. It means you can get to hear Plants vocal echoes properly. ABSOLUTELY superb. Expect just the odd couple of crackles in the odd spot per side. FLOOR is absolutely killer. You can find decent original copies - but the really lightly used well preserved copies only pop up now and again. Mores the pity! Slow run/build into THANKY YOU - really clean...a couple of crackles at worst.. MOST copies just will not deliver that. HIGHLY accomplished in every way. 1 isolated minor tick in Heartbreaker. You will not find better. Percussive tapping on the way into 'RAMBLE'...is astonishingly good. With the exception of one slightest tick ..quietest background on Moby Dick I've ever heard. Cymbal strikes are about as realistic as you will ever hear on vinyl - period. Lowkey intro Bring It On Home...rarely plays clean - barely a crackle¬! [literally NEVER happens]. Superb! WITHIN the best five copies I've ever had the pleasure to spin.
Cover (Vg+) very very tidy with just light ageing evidence. They don't usually tend to look this smart. Original covers are hellishly difficult to find in anything approaching Ex condition. Nice clean and flat front with ageing evident at spine edge. Interior looks superb - pristine. Nice firm openings panel. The rear looks really good with slightest evidence of handling - one scuff mark in t he centre. Some edge wear in places - nothing problematic at all. Spine is in pretty decent order with text 90% legible - slight wear and small belmish. Sharp openings. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Ex-) very smart minimal ageing. Bag present. No splits.
