223

For auction is a 1975 UK 1st pressing of Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti, in superb condition.  This 1st pressing double-LP has the original die cut windows cover, original insert, and original inner sleeves – all in stunning condition.  This is an extremely difficult record to find as a 1st UK pressing, especially in this condition.

Swan Song Cat. No. SSK 89400.  Matrix numbers SSK 89400 -A1 / SSK 89400 – B5 / SSK 89400 – C1 / SSK 89400 – D1.  The labels are the original 1st pressing Swan Song labels. 

It is unlikely you will ever find another copy in such superb condition.   

The labels are in mint (-) condition and as close to mint as you will ever find.  They are simply flawless, with no even faint spindle marks and perfect center holes that look new. 

The fold out insert is in mint condition.

The original “picture” inner sleeves are also in mint condition.

The cover is easily in excellent (+) condition.  This die cut “window” cover is extremely fragile and yet this copy is in superb condition. There is no edge wear, no spine wear, and no corner wear.  There are no creases and only the very faintest of light rubbing on the back cover.   There is no ring-wear or ring impression.  With the insert and vinyl removed, the wide opening cover lies with no sagging and is very strong.  This is a gorgeous cover, very close to mint (-).  

The vinyl is in mint (-) condition, with only a very few of the lightest and faint paper scuffs visible under direct bright sunlight. 

This copy plays awesome!  There are no jumps, no nasty crackling.  There is only the lightest of static crackling and the run-ins are very quiet.  Excellent (+).
