LED ZEPPELIN -

ATLANTIC

1st UK Press 1969

588198


First press matrices A//5 B//4 with the earliest stampers. 










Featuring cover art Terry Gilliam would be proud of, all things dark and light move up two gears powering the hovering Zeppelin into overdrive. I can't begin to guess how they worked in the studio, but being mid-1969 I can still see them as a disciplined bunch much to the disgust of critics who tried to trip them up on any atomic particle they could sniff at. Punchy, stinging, echo fed riffing by Jimmy Page on its headbutt in the mouth opening notes clarify that rock as a standout genre had just found new paymasters, their willing debauchery only outweighed by talent and innovations the devil himself would sell his soul for. Pop - the smug sexist yet wholly lovable 'Living Loving Maid', joyous and ironic folk rock - 'Ramble On', and side-alley con job fury - 'Heartbreaker'; all sweet revenge for that Hindenburg incident.(From: rateyourmusic.com)




Vinyl: EX.  Great heavy first UK press vinyl . A beautiful heavy glossy vinyl.  One long hairline, wispy and not feelable, bars me from grading higher as this vinyl seems barely played at all. And the replay shows that I'm surely not far out with that comment as this sounds just stunning. Only a first press heavy vinyl can ever sound like that. Under a strong light only the very lightest wispy retraction paper traces can be seen. Any LP will have this as soon as they are taken out of its sleeve. These are totally invisible in normal light.  This sounded better than any re-issue like only a first press can. Lovely channel separation without any distortion. The hairline cannot be heard at all bar two low level pops, and that's all. Needless to say, NO skips, NO jumps, barely any background noise etc. Sublime ...





Gatefold sleeve:  VG.  This gatefold sleeve has protected the vinyl ,which has fared much better, particularly well. The wear on the top and bottom edges is significant and although all writing on the spine is fully readable, the spine also has wear. One sticker with a name(?) on the inside gate as per the picture in the listing. There are NO large creases and I would say that it would still be a nice item for your collection if you can deal with the storage wear mentioned. More from this wonderful collection will be listed in the near future. 


Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact 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! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. 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!!

 

 

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
