Description
* Purchased new by my late father in 1969.
* Remained in our family ownership ever since. (57 years)
* Always carefully stored
* Genuine UK first pressing with turquoise lettering.
Pressing Details:
* Atlantic Records
* Catalogue No. 588171
* Rare turquoise lettering sleeve
* Matrix Side 1 A//1
* Matrix Side 2 B//1
* Original plum Atlantic labels
* Superhype Music credits
Outer Sleeve (VG+):
* Original turquoise sleeve.
* Light creasing consistent with age.
* Stored for decades inside a protective polythene cover.
* No half moon / C shaped creases in outer sleeve opening.
* Presents very well for a 1969 record.
The protective cover carries my late father’s surname (“Turnbull”). This was common practice during the late 1960s when people often took LPs to friends’ houses and parties to share music. The writing is only on the removable protective cover and not on the original record sleeve.
Inner Sleeve (G):
* Original period inner sleeve.
* “LED ZEPPELIN” written in blue pen.
* Writing only on the inner sleeve.
Vinyl Condition (VG):
* Well played but carefully looked after.
* Retains good gloss.
* Light hairlines and surface marks.
* Some more noticeable surface scratches.
* Recently played from start to finish.
* Played through on my equipment without sticking or skipping -
Sony PS-LX310BT Bluetooth Record Player, and Marshall Bluetooth Speaker
* Buyers should expect some age-related background noise consistent with a well-used 1969 record.
Playback (Excellent):
Both sides were playback tested this week. Played brilliantly on my equipment.
I have attempted to describe this record as honestly and conservatively as possible. Record grading is subjective, therefore all photographs form part of the description.
Packaging Post Sale
* Professional LP mailer.
* Cardboard stiffeners.
* Fully insured.
* Tracked.
* Signature required.
Due to the rarity and value of this record, all identifying features including the sleeve, labels, matrix numbers and overall condition have been comprehensively photographed and documented before dispatch. The record will be securely packed and sent using a fully insured tracked service.
Buyer Expectations:
Serious collectors are welcome to ask questions or request additional photographs before purchasing. Please satisfy yourself regarding condition before making an offer, as this is a genuine vintage collectable over 57 years old.
Final Statement:
This record has never left family ownership since it was purchased new in 1969. While it has been enjoyed over the decades, it has also been carefully preserved and recently playback tested. It is offered for sale as an honest, original example rather than a professionally restored or dealer-graded copy.
