Description
RUSSIAN pressing from Antrop plant
ANTROP П91 00110
This was produced in 1992, when following the Perestroika period and the demise of the USSR, Russia was beginning to open up to the West. As the legend goes, this particular release followed the Led Zeppelin pressings that were officially licensed. I'm not sure about how true it is, but... In any case, at about the same time the Soviet Union started to fall apart, and the result was economic lawlessness and free-for-all Even if the Led Zeppelin releases on Antrop were truly licensed, I don't think this one was, because by 1992, the USSR was no more, and enforcement of common decency was very difficult, let alone copyright laws. It appears the Russian label started to do their own thing particularly with sleeves - hence all the unusual sleeve variations. Just look at the hilarious buckle on this one. It is not the most outrageous of the bunch (look for my other auctions), but still a highly collectible item. Could also serve as a pretty unexpected gift for a Stones fan in your life.
The LP is new, never listened to. However, it is not sealed. That's why I'm listing it as a M-, not fully mint. Back in the USSR they did not seal their records. Never. Probably didn't have the shrink wrap to do it (seriously). You'll have to trust me, I was in Russia at the time, and bought a few copies as soon as they came out. This particular copy was properly stored all this time.
Happy bidding!
