ATLANTIC - 2401012 - 1971 - UK 1ST PRESSING

8 songs  - full tracklisting available upon request

Very 1st UK pressing of this classic album!

This copy features the very first label design which had a number of errors. It was only used for a very short time on a small number of the first copies before the errors were spotted and changed and is among the hardest to find of any Led Zep rarities. The signifiers of this very rare 1st label are as follows:

• Original plum & red labels with 'Led Zeppelin' stated at the bottom (later issues have moved it to the top of label)
• Feather symbol is upside down on side 2 label (an error only seen on the very 1st label print run and corrected on later issues)
• No Superhype publishing credit (added to later issues)
• 'Under license from...' credit is on the red part of the label (later issues move it to the white band)
• A3/B4 matrix 
• PORKY and PECKO DUCK runout messages
• Peter Grant producer credit on label (later issues state only Jimmy Page)

 

CONDITION (vinyl/cover)

VG-  (record has had numerous plays and shows some light sleeve removal surface marks/scuffs in strong angled light but the disc still has a nice shine, shows no bad scratches and plays very well. Audio is generally clean & clear EX with no major or significant surface noise, but I have downgraded because of some light sound deterioration/distortion noticeable towards the end of each side, its nothing too bad and otherwise this is a really nice playing copy; both labels are in excellent condition - see photos below)

/ EX+ (gatefold sleeve in stunning near perfect condition with clean uncreased surfaces and sharp edges, there's just some barely noticeable foxing to the left side of the rear panel)

1st pressing textured grey inner is VG+ with a long split in the bottom edge, otherwise its in superb clean and uncreased condition (record will be sent in a brand new polylined inner sleeve)
