Record Collector classes both the B4 & B5 matrix as a first pressing. B4 is generally assumed to be the more collectable first pressing. B4 is also generally thought of as being a ‘hotter’ pressing.

This has got to be one of the hottest pressings I've heard from this period. Really well defined instruments & vocals

ORIGINAL BOX SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+

There minimal signs of storage wear on the corners). There is a slight ‘warping’ on the top edges of the outer sleeve due to the thickness of the card used. ( this is inevitable with the thickness of card used) The outer cover is of a top loading ‘open box’ construction of thick ridged card with the following text printed on the back, top centre: SWAN SONG / 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10 - Cullderstead Ltd., trading as Swan Song - A Swan Song/Atlantic recording distributed by WEA Records Ltd. & © 1975. The group name, record title and catalogue number run down the left hand side spine, viewed from the front, these are printed in RED. The lettering of ‘LED’  in  LED ZEPPELIN along the spine has become just a little faded.

 

INNER SLIP COVER: NEAR MINT

                                                                                                                                              VERY SLIGHT SIGNS OF WEAR TO TOP RIGHT CORNER

The gatefold ‘slip’ insert credits “Gothic Print Finishers Ltd., London SE9 2EQ” as the printers, along with the Swan Song SSK 89400 catalogue number and the address “SWAN SONG, 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10"

 

INNER SLEEVES: NEAR MINT

 MINOR SIGNS OF HANDLING WEAR.

The Inner sleeves are printed on thick card with a natural untreated grey finish to the inside surfaces. They have SSK 89400/A and SSK 89400/B respectively on the back (bottom right corner) of each of the inners. Later issues were thinner card with a smooth finish to the inside.
