CLEAN EMBOSSED GF SLEEVE, TEXTURED INNER, ONCE PLAYED

LED ZEPPELIN
Presence

ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING (April 1976) ON SWAN SONG (SSK 59402) OF LED ZEPPELIN'S "Presence" LP - IN GREAT CONDITION (probably been played just the one time) DELIVERING FLAWLESS AUDIO ON MY SYSTEM (AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME) WITH A CRYSTAL CLEAR, CLEAN, SHARP AND VIBRANT SOUND (as good as it gets) AND HOUSED IN A BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THE ORIGINAL WHITE EMBOSSED GATEFOLD SLEEVE, COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL TEXTURED INNER SLEEVE - GREAT COPY

PRESSED ON QUALIY MID/HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL (very thick and chunky for the time) WITH THE SWAN SONG LABELS
MATRIX NUMBERS: SSK-59402-A2 (etched 'ATLANTIC STUDIOS') / SSK-59402-B1 (the first UK pressings all had combinations of A1 or 2 and B1 or 2 and these all appear to have been released simultaneously as PRESENCE had one of the highest advance orders ever in the UK - going gold on the day of release)
THE RECORD IS HOUSED THE ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE THICK CARD MATT, "Hipgnosis" DESIGNED, GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE BAND NAME AND TITLE - 'LED ZEPPELIN PRESENCE' ON THE FRONT AND THE SWAN SONG LOGO ON THE BACK, BOTH EMBOSSED
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL TEXTURED SOFT PAPER INNER SLEEVE WITH TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS OF THE "OBJECT", WITH "Printed and made in England" TEXT AND "SSK 59402" CATALOGUE NUMBER

Track Listing:
Side 1: ACHILLES LAST STAND / FOR YOUR LIFE / ROYAL ORLEANS
Side 2: NOBODY'S FAULT BUT MINE / CANDY STORE ROCK / HOTS ON FOR NOWHERE - TEA FOR ONE

LABELS: Clean, bright and unmarked labels with possibly one (mega) light spindle trace - MINT-
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen and are practically unmarked - MINT-
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio - crisp, fresh and detailed sound with a powerful cut and on my one careful play-check at a very loud volume it sounds absolutely stunning. Right from the thumping, driving opener of "Achilles Last Stand" through to the final "Tea For One" (one of Zep's finest extended original blues numbers) there are no audio issues of note whatsoever and the whole set plays beautifully from start to finish. Critically graded MINT for audio - the playback is pristine
SLEEVE: The gatefold cover is also in beautiful condition - a very clean, sharp and fresh example of this easily marked sleeve - EXCELLENT+
INNER SLEEVE: The delicate textured inner is also clean and practically unmarked with few signs of handling and no splits to any of the edges (which is rare for this delicate inner) - EXCELLENT+
