Description

LED ZEPPELIN-PHYSICAL GRAFFITI

GENUINE MEGA RARE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING FROM 1975.

NO WARNER BROS LOGOS ON LABELS.

HAS A1/B5/C1/D1 STAMPERS.

HAS THE `GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS` TEXT AND THE `KINGS ROAD` RECORD COMPANY ADDRESS ON THE INSERT.

NOT ONLY IS THIS THE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING,BUT IT IS ALSO IN STUNNING CONDITION,DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE.

COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD INSERT AND THICK CARD INNER SLEEVES,NOT LIKE THE PAPER THIN ONES ON A LOT OF THE RE-PRESSINGS.

CONDITION:-
SLEEVE:-THE OUTER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION.IT IS STILL FULL AND BOX-LIKE AND VERY 3D.ALL THE WINDOWS HAVE SHARP CRISP EDGES.
ONLY SLIGHT ISSUES ARE A BIT OF MINIMAL WEAR TO THE CORNERS,BUT THIS IS REALLY LIGHT.THERE IS ALSO A BIT OF LIGHT WEAR TO THE BOTTOM,WHICH I HAD TO REALLY LOOK HARD TO FIND AS IT SORT OF BLENDS IN WITH THE DESIGN AND IS VERY WELL CAMOFLARGED.
BOTH THE UPRIGHT EDGES ARE STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND THE TITLE IS TOTALLY READABLE.
THE OPENING EDGE ISNICE AND CRISP WITH NO WEAR OR FEATHERING.

INSERT:-THE GATEFOLD INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION.IT IS THICK GLOSSY CARD AND IS TOTALLY AS NEW WITH NO ISSUES.

INNERS:-BOTH INNER SLEEVES ARE IN MINT CONDITION.THEY ARE THE THICK CARD ONES AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES,AS NEW.

VINYL:-BOTH RECORDS ARE EXCELLENT CONDITION.
ALL FOUR SIDES ARE GLOSSY AND SHINE.
THE RECORDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN SEPERATE POLY-LINED INNERS TO PRETECT THEM FROM THE THICK CARD INNERS,THUS PREVENTING ANY PAPER SCUFFS.

WHEN PLAYED ON A VERY GOOD SYSTEM ALL FOUR SIDES PLAY EX.
THE PRESSING HAS A FANTASTIC SOUND,REALLY BIG AND OPEN.THERE ARE NO CLICKS OR POPS TO BE FOUND,ONLY A TINY BIT OF SURFACE NOISE ON THE RUN-IN GROOVES,BUT THIS IS INEVETABLE AS THE SPACE IN THE GROOVE IS MUCH WIDER HERE AND THEREFORE THE STYLUS `TRAVELS` A LOT MORE-THIS IS OFTEN EVIDENT ON BRAND NEW RECORDS.

WE ARE LISTING THIS WITH A HIGH GRADING BECAUSE WE TRUELY BELIEVE IT TO BE THAT GOOD.IF FOR ANY REASON YOU DON`T AGREE WE WILL HAPPILY REFUND THE AUCTION PRICE AND ALL POSTAGE COSTS ON RETURN OF THE RECORD-THIS REALLY IS A TOP COPY.

ALL LABELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION.WE COULDN`T EVEN FIND ANY SPINDLE MARKS.

THIS ONE HAS OBVIOUSLY HAD VERY LITTLE PLAY IF ANY AT ALL,IF YOU`RE LOOKING FOR A FIRST PRESSING OF THIS LP,THIS ONE WOULD BE VERY HARD TO BEAT.
