Description
Led Zeppelin’s first groundbreaking album, catalogue No. 588171 on the Atlantic Red/Plum label. A great example of this RARE original 1969 UK EARLIEST first pressing, with the TURQUOISE LETTERED sleeve and the SUPERHYPE publishing credits. This UK first pressing has a tremendous power and presence that surges out of the speakers and hits you like the Hammer Of The Gods !! Amazing !! The vinyl has a glossy sheen to it and is the thick SQUARE CUT RIM type. There is a smattering of surface noise and some clicks in some of the quieter parts of ‘Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You’ and the beginning of ‘Your Time Is Gonna Come’. There are a few clicks here and there but these are minimal. Apart from that it plays beautifully, the sonic assault of ‘Communication Breakdown’, the sheer awesome power of ‘Dazed And Confused’, and the sometimes overlooked 8 minute epic ‘How Many More Times’, come pounding out at you !! I would grade this album as EX if not for the aforementioned clicks, so it has to be a EX-. The Sleeve is in very good condition for its 38 years. It has a few creases, some laminate cracks to the front and back around the spine and some slight browning to the edges. The colours are still strong with no fading. The record also comes with its ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE which is in excellent condition. Lastly, the SUPERHYPE labels. Again the colours are as vibrant as they were in 69’. There are some faint spindle marks but they display no other markings and really are as good as the day they were printed. Matrices are A1 and B1. A really good example of this classic and RARE album !!
