Description
This week a SUPER RARE collection of LPs all ending on Sunday night as normal! Really REALLY rare items - and very VERY hard to find indeed! Good luck if you decide to bid - and please read on about this AMAZING item below:-
RARITY:- SUPER RARE! This LP sold VERY poorly on release (as a 1st Pressing!) - and is consequently VERY hard to locate! And it is VERY important to note - that there is a lot of proveable NONSENSE written about this LP. They were 3 or 4 labels all used at the same time prior to release - as various mistakes and errors were corrected, and various credits were removed. HOWEVER! Most of the incorrect labels were actually used MUCH LATER - and this is PROVEABLE by fact! The main detail that PROVES a 1st Pressing of this LP are the matrixes, which are 3/3 - which all 1st Pressings MUST HAVE! These would have been changed immediately and on ALL PRESSING LINES AT ONCE to the later 3/4 matrixes - which most later pressings had! And this is why it is VERY important NEVER to rely on the labels! HOWEVER THIS LP IS ONE OF THE 'TRUE' LED ZEPPELIN RARITIES! For not only does it have the MOST SOUGHT AFTER RAREST 'Peter Grant' labels (with Led Zeppelin at the bottom!) but MOST IMPORTANTLY it also has the 1ST PRESS ONLY 3/3 matrixes - showing it was made prior to release! And this is VERY important! Clearly some boxes of the SUPER RARE 'Earliest' Peter Grant labels were used LATER - as some appear with 2nd Press 3/4 matrixes! But this one is a TRUE 1st Pressing - and very VERY rare indeed! SO FOR ONCE - THIS ONE REALLY THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, AS IT HAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 3/3 MATRIXES & AND THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESS LABELS ASWELL!
ADDED BONUS:- And for once this LP has an absolutely BRILLIANT conditioned 'EARLIEST' 1st Pressed record - which is so VERY hard to find with the EARLIEST 1st Press matrixes & labels!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
