HAND ETCHED MATRIX NUMBER AND INSCRIPTION MAKES IT THE VERY VERY VERY FIRST RARE PRESS
The earliest matrices for this album are A5/B5. Page was said to be unhappy with the first few test pressings and rejected them in favour of the 5th pressing, hence the earliest matrix you’ll find on either side will be A5 and B5. There are later matrix numbers. Also interesting is that the matrix was hand etched throughout and also includes the infamous Aleister Crowley quotes on either side:
Do What Thou Wilt
So Mote It Be
a complete 1st press should have the Peter Grant credit, hand etched matrices with both quotes as above.
