Description
*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the mid 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

Led Zeppelin
Presence
Swan song 1976
A stunning copy of Led Zeppelin’s seventh studio album. Recorded quickly during a break in touring while Robert Plant recovered from a car crash, this album was an initial disappointment to many on the back of the runaway success of ‘75’s Physical Graffiti. However, time has served it well and it is seen as a key component in the band’s output, not least in terms of Jimmy Page’s guitar playing.
This copy is the original 1st issue with the band name and title embossed on the front of the white sleeve and the Swansong logo on the back. The iconic cover design featuring ‘the object’ was nominated for a Grammy.
The cover is in Excellent condition. Often turning up heavily soiled due to the colour, this copy retains a nice vibrancy and the spine is beautifully square and unmarked. There is a stain top left, visible on the photos. Inside, the gatefold is beautifully preserved. Overall an Excellent sleeve.
The original paper inner is also in Excellent condition. Again, often found tatty and with splits, this copy has survived remarkably well. The vinyl is now housed in a separate poly-lined inner to preserve the original.
The vinyl is as close to Mint as is imaginable and looks unplayed. A beautiful copy with early A1 B2 matrices.
Overall a fantastic copy of an essential album.
