Description

Led Zeppelin Mega Rare **Nr Mint** 1973 UK Atlantic 1st Pressing of ‘Houses Of The Holy’!!! Absolutely Stunning Example of UK Pressing on Original 1st Press Green/Orange Atlantic Labels With 1ST Press ‘For Mary/Pecko’ Matrix Etchings and Mega Rare Sash!!! Complete with Pristine 1st Issue MacNeill Gatefold Sleeve and Original Lyric Printed Inner Sleeve!!! In Absolutely Pristine *Nr Mint* Condition Throughout!!!

You are bidding on a simply stunning *Near Mint** Atlantic Stereo (it was never pressed on mono format) UK Green/Orange 1st pressing of the absolutely classic ‘Houses Of The Holy’ by Led Zeppelin! This is the earliest UK 1st pressing with the ‘For Mary/Pecko’ matrix etchings!!! It is a record that is impossible to find today in this kind of condition. It is a classic Led Zeppelin record and it only usually ever turns up full of scratches and often unplayable. However, this beautiful quality pressed thick & chunky disc has been carefully played just once before to record and is in stunning **Nr Mint** condition throughout with beautiful pristine glass-like playing surfaces. This is hugely rare for this album – just try finding another in this condition!!! It looks brand new and is totally unblemished – not even a single wispy paper line!!!! What  makes this extra special is that it is still complete with its original 1st issue title sash!!! These were affixed around the original 1973 UK 1st pressings to advertise the album title as Led Zeppelin were notoriously reluctant to adorn their records with sleeve text; preferring instead to let the artwork to speak for itself. Needles to say, these were all ripped off back in 1973 and thrown away. This one however was carefully removed and tucked inside the sleeve thus being preserved to this say. It is as new and un-split, still perfectly slipping around the album sleeve. The 1st issue MacNeill gatefold sleeve is also in superb condition and is complete with original 1st issue lyric/title-printed inner sleeve!!!  Record will be housed in a separate poly-lined inner sleeve to protect the original inner from ‘knifing’ during shipping. A very rare record, especially in this kind of pristine condition! You will never see a better example!!! Don’t miss this one – it s an exceptional 1st press copy and I seriously doubt you will ever see better!!! Essential for any high grade UK Led Zeppelin 1st press collection!!!

I have recently decided to sell my 1960’s & 70’s UK 1st press collection. All records were bought by me and I have only ever picked records of the utmost quality and rarity for my vintage collection. All records have been safely housed in thick PVC sleeves and professionally archived.

I am very fussy about my records and have only selected the rarest UK 1st pressings over the years. Many, if not most of my records have only been played once to record and then archived never to see the light of day again, until now.

Please take a good look at these records, this must be one of the best collections of Nr Mint UK 1st pressings ever auctioned on Ebay. I have thousands of records in this collection and will be adding more each week over the coming months. You will never find a collection of rarer records in more pristine condition. All must be sold so please bid high as these records have a very high individual value, many into high three figures.

All records have no reserve and a £2.99 starting price. There are no surcharges and I accept Paypal, Cheques, Postal orders and any other methods the buyer wishes to use. Please email in you wish to pay via another method and I am sure I will accept it.

I combine Postage costs for multiple purchases.
