Description

An original Q1 1972 transitional pressing just after Atlantic had shifted to the new label design. If you are someone very fussy on the covers and the vinyl a Zep1 is going to set you back big $$$. However, if you want to get the perfect audio and are prepared to compromise with a copy from just a couple of years later this one may fit the bill. It's so close to being a 'red & plum' copy that on side 2 the audio is actually identical to a late red & plum press. On side 1 we have the new Kinney matrix & catalogue info and side 2 a dual matrix of new Kinney catalogue and original plum catalogue '588171'. Matrix A1/B4 - [just like the final plum copies]. Please note the labels do not exhibit any perimeter text in the upper-hemisphere, or the Warners logo. So, this copy dates from just after the Kinney takeover Q1 1972. The vinyl comes housed in an original Kinney period cover - correct for '72. Also included is the original inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In terrific condition and has only seen the lightest of use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback with one brief deviation. Intros and inbetweens are silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Zep 1 is a difficult LP to find playing clean all the way through. There are lots of complex passages and lots of low-key passages. What you need is total silence in the back ground...ideally. And this copy delivers just that and some impressive audio to boot. Interference is borderline non-existent except for one tiny passage. All I could detect was a bit of crackle in the opening 9 [Nine] seconds of side 2. At 9 seconds it disappears...you'll get perfect clean audio from there on in. Certainly one of the best renditions I've witnessed...a stunner.
Cover (Ex/Ex+) Wow, this cover is certainly a looker and someone's taken real care of it. Very nice clean and shiny front with, perhaps, just a couple of light indentations. The rear is equally good - no issues at all. Edge wear is very very minor and the openings are still sharp. The spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity. A mighty impressive example.
Inner (Ex-) Lightest ageing and a couple of creases. No splits.
