UK FIRST PRESSING MATRIX NUMBERS ON SECOND GENERATION LABEL DESIGN VINYL LP IN FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH WORKING WHEEL.

This disc has first pressing matrix numbers A5/B5 but is pressed on the second generation Red/Maroon label design with 2401-002 at 2 O'clock.

The credit at the bottom of the label states 'Produced by Jimmy Page' in bold, centred underneath is "Warner Bros. Music", this is a re-positioning from the top half of the label to the bottom half.

Fully-laminated gatefold sleeve with working wheel, printed and made in England by E. J. Day, retaining Executive Producer: Peter Grant (which has been removed from the labels on this pressing).

MATRIX NUMBERS IN RUN-OFF GROOVES: SIDE A: 153 Do what thou wilt 2401002 A-5 GHC / SIDE B: 122 So mote it be 2401002 B-5 GHC

SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+ WITH SOME SHELF AND EDGE WEAR, SOME LIGHT SCUFFS, PEN NAME TOP LEFT FRONT. MINOR CORNER BUMPS. NO TEARS OR DAMAGE, JUST SOME AGEING - OVERALL A PRETTY DECENT SLEEVE COMPARED TO MOST THAT WE SEE THESE DAYS.

DISC: VISUALLY A VERY GOOD COPY THAT PLAYS VERY GOOD+ TO EXCELLENT MINUS IN PLACES. SOME LIGHT SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES BUT NO ACTUAL SCRATCHES THAT CAN BE FELT. CLEARLY THIS DISC HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THERE IS SPINDLE WEAR. THERE IS A LIGHT SCUFF ON THE LAST TWO TRACKS SIDE TWO WHICH CLICKED A FEW TIMES BUT OTHERWISE WAS NOT NOTICEABLE. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN BUT HAVE SOME FOXING ON SIDE TWO DUE TO FINGER GREASE REACTION WITH THE LABEL INK. BOTH SIDES PLAY VERY WELL, THERE ARE SOME SURFACE NOISES IN THE QUIETEST OF PASSAGES AND BETWEEN SOME TRACKS, BUT NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. A DECENT, PUNCHY FIRST MATRIX NUMBERS PRESSING THAT IS IN FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE BUT NOT PERFECT. DISC HAS BEEN PRICED ACCORDING TO LESSER CONDITION.

Your shipping and handling pays for the following standard of service:
We ship the next working day after your payment is received. International Air Mail Small Packets take an average of 10-14 days to arrive, but please allow at least 21-28 days for your package to clear customs (South America, Canada and some other countries have notably slower customs clearance than others). Sadly, our experience shows that it can now take 7-14 days for tracked packages to be delivered in the UK, although 3-5 days is average. LPs are shipped in professional, fluted card mailers with printed address labels and all relevant customs and tracking information attached. We appreciate payment within 5 days of the auction closing. Payal requires sellers to prove delivery in the event of non-receipt claims and to have uploaded tracking information onto eBay, so regrettably we now only ship by Signed For/Tracked delivery if you choose to pay by Paypal (except the USA subsidized shipping rate). We do accept alternative payment methods if a cheaper shipping rate is important to you, as listed below:
