Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Led Zeppelin called "Led Zeppelin" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Red/Maroon (Plum) Atlantic label!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS LED ZEPPELIN'S FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! IT ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE ATLANTIC LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP ESPECIALLY RARE - IS THAT IT IS THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LEGENDARY LP - WITH 'TURQUOISE LETTERING' ON THE COVER FRONT AND 'SUPERHYPE' CREDIT ON THE RECORD LABELS!!!! ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - EVER HAD THIS ULTRA RARE 'TURQUOISE' SLEEVE LETTERING - BEFORE IT WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO THE COMMON 'ORANGE LETTERED' COVERS THAT FOLLOWED!!!! AND THE LABEL CREDITS WERE ALSO LATER CHANGED FROM 'SUPERHYPE' TO 'WARNER BROS'!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH DIFFERENT (& EARLIEST POSSIBLE!) MATRIX ENDINGS!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP - AND MAKES IT THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST LED ZEPPELIN LP EVER MADE!!!! WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY HANDFUL OF 'TURQUOISE' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - WERE EVER PRESSED WITH UNCORRECTED 1ST PRESS MATRIXES (SEE PICTURES!) AND THESE WERE IMMEDIATELY CHANGED PRIOR TO RELEASE!!!! ALL LATER 'TURQUOISE' 1ST PRESSINGS (AND ALL THE 'ORANGE LETTERED' PRESSINGS THAT FOLLOWED!) HAVE AN EXTRA 'ETCHED' NUMBER '8' ADDED TO THE MATRIXES AND SHOW A LATER PRESSING!!!! IN FACT, VIRTUALLY EVERY PRESSING OF THIS LP HAS THIS 'EXTRA 8' ETCHED ON THE MATRIXES - (EVEN MOST OF THE 'TURQUOISE' 1ST PRESSINGS!) AND SO IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESSINGS WITH UNCORRECTED 1ST PRESS MATRIXES LIKE THIS ONE HAS!!!! SO DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE SERIOUS RARITY OF THIS LP!!!! BECAUSE, NOT ONLY IS IT THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESSING WITH 'TURQUOISE LETTERING' ON THE COVER FRONT AND 'SUPERHYPE' CREDIT ON THE LABELS - BUT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, WITH IMPOSSIBLY RARE UNCORRECTED MATRIXES!!!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' AND RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND IS VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED, WITH NO MAJOR DEFECTS AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS RED/MAROON (PLUM) ATLANTIC LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SUPERHYPE' CREDITS ON THE LABELS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' UNCORRECTED 1ST PRESS '588171 A//1' & '588171 B//1' MATRIX ENDINGS, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'TURQUOISE LETTERED' FULLY LAMINATED COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL UK Atlantic 1st Pressing from 1969 and is in GREAT condition!!!! The record is pressed on MEGA THICK quality vinyl!!!! The Cat. No is 588 171 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Red/Maroon Atlantic labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT condition - and is still bright & shiny and plays WELL!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, only 2 or 3 light scufflines (completely NON sounding!), only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! There is also a visible scuffline on 1 side - though this is actually VERY light indeed, and does NOT sound in the slightest!!!! Basically the record still looks VERY bright and glossy indeed, is definitely NOT 'covered in marks' (like most you see!), is certainly NOT grey and lifeless, and is a very VERY decent looking record indeed!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO nasty loud pops, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and barely ANY distortion AT ALL (virtually NONE!)!!!! The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good(Minus) (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is a very VERY decent example indeed, that I am VERY certain most would grade even higher still!!!! However I prefer to be very VERY strict indeed to avoid ANY disappointment!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The 1st Press 'Turquoise Lettered' FULLY Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition and very VERY presentable indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!! And of course, please take the time to read everything about this cover (as it is obviously VERY important on an LP such as this!)!!!! It has NO sticker marks, NO edgewear, NO spinal wear (though there are a few small creases across the spine - though the spine still retains its rigidity!), only a MEGA thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge, NO splits, shiny laminate, NO sticker tears, only slight corner wear, NO nasty 'brown creases', possible VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the bottom corners, NO annotations, a few creases on the right of the cover front, only a few VERY light creases elsewhere on the front face (cover is still VERY flat looking!), NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering!!!! Even the laminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO annotations, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, NO edge splits, a few creases to the left and top left of the cover back (only a few VERY light ones elsewhere!), NO sticker tears, NO spine splits, a few TINY creases on the spine (as mentioned above!), NO grubbyness, only VERY slight feathering (see picture) to the reverse opening edge, and NO writing!!!! So whilst this cover isnt Mint - it has absolutely NO major defects AT ALL, and only the creasing (as described above!)!!!! And this is certainly still a very VERY decent example indeed, and must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good(Minus) (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - with NO major defects AT ALL!!!! WITH THIS LP NOW REGULARLY SELLING FOR OVER £1500-£2000 NOW (AND THE RECORD PRICE BEING £3600+!), THIS IS SURELY AN EXTREMELY RARE CHANCE FOR SOMEONE TO OWN THIS INCREDIBLE LP AT A CHEAPER PRICE THAN THE HUGE FORTUNE REQUIRED TO OWN A MINT COPY!!!! AND EVEN THOUGH THIS EXAMPLE ISNT MINT - IT IS DEFINITELY A VERY PRESENTABLE EXAMPLE INDEED, THAT PLAYS WELL AND HAS NO MAJOR DEFECTS AT ALL!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS AN 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESSING (WITH 'EARLIEST' TURQUOISE COVER, 'EARLIEST' 'SUPERHYPE' LABELS & 'EARLIEST' UNCORRECTED MATRIXES) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords. PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
