Description
Private sale as I am clearing out my old vinyl collection and enjoying finding a few ‘rarities’ in there that you collectors may be interested in. I now really have most on CD and no room for vinyl – sad but true! I have tried to follow the advice on grading given by ebay. Not sure of the value of this one but a little ‘google’ research says it may have some value, so I have set a starting price that sounds reasonable.
This is a rare UK 1st press of Led Zeppelin IV. A3/B4 matrix and the rare crossed out and then corrected matrix on Side 1. It has the original ‘Pecko Duck’ and ‘Porky’ hand etched in the run out. It contains the rare label error 'Misty Mountain Top' instead of 'Misty Mountain Hop' and is pressed on the earliest heavy vinyl. The sound quality is excellent and it plays through without 'blemish'. I understand only a few thousand presses exist with this exceptional original sound and even fewer also have the unique 'Misty Mountain Top' label misprint. The record is complete with the 1st press printed inner sleeve and the lightweight matt gatefold sleeve.
The record in Excellent condition. The vinyl has original gloss, there is no whitening or any wear at all to the grooves, and no marks or surface scratches. When played the sound is truly exceptional - very bassy, rich, deep sound and extremely clear. It plays through faultlessly and has no crackle, clicks or scratches and no surface scratches.
The rare mispress label is in Excellent Condition. The inner sleeve also is in Excellent condition.
The matt gatefold sleeve is in Good condition. The picture is still bright and sharp and mostly the cover is excellent but there is wear to the outer spine . The inside is very good, the black is solid and the picture is perfect.
I will post as soon as payment is received and cleared with full insurance, proof of posting and delivery. estimated cost £6.50 in uk. If international i will need to check price.
