LED ZEPPELIN

“PRESENCE”

 (1976 SWAN SONG RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING)

ON HERE IS THIS SUPERB & RARE, ORIGINAL UK FIRST VINYL PRESSING OF THE WONDERFUL LP “PRESENCE” BY LED ZEPPELIN ON THE SWAN SONG RECORDS LABEL.

THIS IS AN INCREASINGLY RARE LP WTH THE EMBOSSED BAND NAME AND ALBUM TITLE EMBOSSED ONTO THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE. IT ALSO HAS THE EMBOSSED LOGO ON THE BACK. IT IS COMPLETE WITH IT’S ORIGINAL “OBJECT” INNER SLEEVE.

WHAT REALLY SETS THIS APART FROM ALL THE OTHER COPIES OF THIS LP CURRENTLY LISTED IS THAT IT IS STILL HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP. EVEN MORE EXTRAORDINARY IS THE FACT THAT THE SHRINKWRAP STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL “LED ZEPPELIN PRESENCE” STICKER IN THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER. THIS STICKER IS VERY RARELY FOUND AND WAS USED TO HELP SELL THE ALBUM AT RELEASE AS THE EMBOSSED TITLES DO NOT STAND OUT ALL.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS SWAN SONG SSK 59402

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: SSK-59402-A2 / SSK-59402-B1

THE SLEEVE

THE HEAVY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS STILL HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGIONAL FACTORY SHRINK-WRAP SO I CANNOT SEE THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. THE FRONT AND BACK OF THIS ENIGMATIC SLEEVE ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY BRUISES TO THE OPENING. THE BAND’S NAME AND THE ALBUM’S TITLE ARE EMBOSSED ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE. THE SWAN SONG LOGO IS EMBOSSED ON THE BACK.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE “OBJECT” INNER SLEEVE, WITH TRACK-LISTING AND CREDITS IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION, WITH JUST A FEW VERY SLIGHT SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW OF THE SLIGHTEST HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES. 

THE LABELS

THE SWAN SONG LABELS, WITH “MADE IN UK” TEXT, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO MARKS.

SIDE 2

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE “ENVELOPE STYLE” MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORD AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.
