ORIGINAL UK ATLANTIC (K 50014) FIRST PRESSING (April 1973) OF LED ZEPPELIN'S CLASSIC "Houses Of The Holy" LP IN EXC CONDITION
PRESSED ON QUALITY MID-WEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST GROOVED ATLANTIC LABELS WITH NO 'WB' LOGO ON THE BOTTOM RIM TEXT
FIRST PRESS MATRIX: K50014 A2 / K50014 B2 (with 'STERLING' (stamped) and 'RL' (etched) on both run-offs)
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD SLEEVE (WITH NO TEXT)
AND COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL WHITE TEXTURED LYRIC INNER SLEEVE WITH "Printed in England by MacNeill Press Ltd." CREDIT
Houses Of The Holy was the first album covered commissioned by the band from Hipgnosis. According to Page, (The cover) "denoted the feeling of expectancy for the music contained within."
Track Listing:
Side 1: The Song Remains The Same / The Rain Song / Over The Hills And Far Away / The Crunge
Side 2: Dancing Days / D'yer Maker / No Quarter / The Ocean

LABELS: The labels are clean, bright with evident spindle traces
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep glossy sheen - there are some brush marks caused by the inner sleeve that cause light crackle in places
VINYL Audio: There are no scratches, no sticks/jumps and just occassional crackle on lighter areas
SLEEVE: The gatefold has remnant of label being removed, but is clean, light ring wear, light wear to edges and on the spine - very fine example indeed - VG+
INNER SLEEVE: The textured lyric inner is clean and unmarked with no splits to any of the edges, just a light crease to the top corner and some record impression - EXCELLENT
