LED ZEPPELIN 1st UK PRESS LP TURQUOISE, SUPERHYPE, UNCORRECTED RAREST Prog
Item History & Price
My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.
You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings.<...br>Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin - Red & Plum Atlantic Labels - Stereo - Earliest 1st UK Pressing - Extremely Rare LP It is Believed that only a couple of thousand 'Turquoise' Sleeve Earliest Pressings were ever made - Great Vinyl + Great Sleeve + Original Inner
Stunning 1st pressing which has the turquoise sleeve, Superhype label credits anduncorrected matrixes as follows:Side 1:588171 A//1
Side 2:588171 B//1Only thevery first pressings have the UNCORRECTED A1/B1 matrixes. All subsequent A1/B1issues have the second 8 crossed-out and then re-etched above
Side One has 3 scratches (one long faint and fine scratch, one scratch across track 2 and one small scratch at start of track 2), there are a couple of very faint hazy surface marks and some very faint whispy marks and some extremely light sleeve removal marks under strong artificial light. Side Two has just a couple of small scratches near edge apart from that no other marks at all except the odd extremely faint sleeve removal trace , It has a great original lustre and shine and it's a Great example of this Very Rare Earliest Pressing, Not quite perfect but certainly one of the best you will find.PLAYTESTED and the Actual audio is strong and vibrant, no deterioration in sound, it sounds amazing, No Jumps, sticks or skips and it lays flat on the turntable.
Side 1 :There is some static in the quite parts and some clicks mainly Side 1 Track 2.
Side 2 : Plays crisp and clear with only light static in quiet parts.
This has not been cleaned but has been stored for 40+ years so will benefit from a proper clean which I will let the new owner do/consider. Perfect for someone who wants strong and vibrant audio but doesnt mind a bit of static in quiet parts and a few clicks in places.
Labels both have some spiders legs under strong light, Both labels are clean and free from the usual writing etc...see photos
Original laminated Earliest and rarest Turquoise Sleeve Is Great with only a little wear and some creases. The front and back of sleeve show only the slightest trace of rubbing still has a great gloss, On the front there are some creases from spine edge and a little laminate lift and quite a few thumbnails in from opening edge (Non of these however have not discoloured unlike most you will see so sleeve still looks clean and white) There is a crease across bottom left corner and 2 small creases bottom right and a couple of faint creases near middle. The back has one thumbnail near opening, a few creases around edges and again small creases from spine edge and some laminate lift along spine edge Top right corner is bumped, bottom left is bumped and has wear on back, other 2 are crisp with no wear. No wear to top edge or bottom edge. No wear to opening edge. Spine is fully readable, still pinched each end, a bit bumpy rather than smooth due to creases running through....see photos...This is a Great Example of this sleeve that when they do come up, normally has yellowing, brown creasing and wear to edges and corners. This one does have creases but they have not discoloured.
The original Poly Lined Inner has no splits and is clean and flat, a bit of discolouration near top edge.
