Description
HI AND WELCOME TO MY AUCTION, A SUPERB RED/PLUM FIRST PRESSING OF LED ZEPPELIN III.
THEIR THIRD ALBUM, RELEASED IN 1970 AND A DIFFERENT DIRECTION FOR THE BAND, ALTHOUGH IF YOU BELEIVE WHAT WAS WRITTEN BY THE MUSIC JOURNOS IT WAS NOT WELL RECEIVED. NEVER THE LESS ZEP FANS LOVED IT AND THE ALBUM SOLD WELL WORLDWIDE, IT JUST RE-INFORCED THE PROOF OF THE BANDS DIVERSITY AND CAPABILITY. THE FACT THAT THE MOST SAMPLED AND COVERED ZEPPELIN TRACKS TO THIS DAY Gallows pole. Immigrant song, Celebration Day, Thats the Way. ALL COME FROM THIS ALBUM SEEMS TO BEAR THIS OUT.
THIS PARTICULAR RED/PLUM FIRST PRESSING IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, I AM VERY STRICT WITH THE GRADING, AND NO WAY IS THIS RECORD OVER GRADED. PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW
