Title : Led Zeppelin III Label : Atlantic Cat No : 2401002
Matrix : A-5 Do What Thou Wilt / B-5 So Mote It Be Issue : UK 1st Press Plum Atlantic LP
This is the UK 1st press of Led Zepellin III. This press is complete with the earliest A5/B5 matrix and hand etched text Do What Thou Wilt / So Mote It Be and has the 'Under Licence' text above the white strip. It has the 1st press only Peter Grant credits on both sides of the label. It is complete with the original polylined warning inner sleeve and Atlantic Deluxe rotating wheel gatefold sleeve.
The record in Very Good condition. The vinyl has a superb gloss, there is no whitening, but there are a number of light marks on both sides. The label is exceptionally clean, the colours are vivid and the white is extremely bright. The black text is sharp and there is only the very slightest spindle wear.
When played the heavy earliest press vinyl has a bold, deep, rich original sound but there is some noise throughout. However no marks cause any skips or jumps and the album can still be enjoyed from start to finish.
The Deluxe gatefold sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. The die-cut circles have no wear at all, they are immaculate. The edges and corners are firm and the text is sharp, there is just a little light wear. The colours are vivid, the white is bright and the black is bold. There is just the very slightest discolouration around the edges. The spinning wheel is perfect. The spine is still firm with a heavy black background and crisp white text. The back has a few original laminate creases. Inside it looks superb, very clean and bright.
