Description
Led Zeppelin LP - Physical Graffiti 1st Press!! Matrix - SSK 89400 A1 B5 C1 D1
1st Pressing Features - This record has all the following criteria:-
- Box Cover: The outer cover is of a top loading ‘box’ construction of thick ridged card with the following text printed on the back, top centre: SWAN SONG / 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10 Cullderstead Ltd., trading as Swan Song A Swan Song/Atlantic recording distributed by WEA Records Ltd., ? & © 1975
- The group name, record title and catalogue number run down the left hand side spine, viewed from the front, these are printed in red.
- Inner Slip Cover: The gatefold 'slip' insert credits "Gothic Print Finishers Ltd., London SE9 2EQ" as the printers, along with the Swan Song SSK 89400 catalogue number and the address "SWAN SONG, 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10"
- Inner Sleeves: The Inner sleeves are printed on thick card with a natural untreated grey finish to the inside surfaces. They have SSK 89400/A and SSK 89400/B respectively on the back (bottom right corner) of each of the inners. Later issues were thinner card with a smooth finish to the inside.
- Labels: The labels are the easiest identifying factors for an original UK 1st issue as they should be clearly marked "Made in UK" but most importantly have no small circular WB (Warner Brothers) Logo at the end of the bottom rim text. The WB logo was introduced onto the label in mid 1975 just a few months after the release, so any label with the WB logo is not from the very first batch of pressings.
Vinyl - Visually there are visible light surface marks. Fortunately these do not effect the playing quality. The sound quality is superb throughout, a really impressive listen - VG++ / Exc
Labels - All in excellent clean condition - Exc
Outer Cover - The front and reverse are in excellent condition. All the window frames are in tact. There is shelf wear to the edges - VG+
Inner Sleeves - Visually both look in excellent condition. On close inspection there is a seem split on the left hand side of both covers - VG+
Insert - Very good condition, nice and clean - VG+
Postage can be arranged worldwide - Due to the rarity and quality of the LP is well be sent signed for only.
