NOTES
This Led Zeppelin UK First Pressing of Houses Of The Holy possesses the earliest possible matrices (A/2-B/2), with the Master Signature of Robert Ludwig (RL) STERLING on BOTH SIDES of the vinyl's Run-off wax,
It has both labels devoid of the later Warners Logo aka "the dreaded "W" which ends the perimeter type on the two labels of later pressings.
Both sides have the "Superhype" Credits on the Green and Orange Atlantic Records "Non-Plum" labels as well as the "Made in UK" designation right below the word, 'STEREO'--again on both sides
Moreover, the Gatefold Jacket is a "matte" finish and not laminated, the latter which typifies later releases.
CONDITION
RECORD IS EXCELLENT - TO VG+ , LOVELY WITH A DEEP GLOSSY LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT.
NOT MINT AND HAS BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES BUT OVERALL A NICE COPY OF THIS ZEPPELIN HOLY GRAIL LUDWIG RL CUT PRESSING
I CAN SEE A FEW UNFEELABLE RUB LINES / HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES, ONLY COSMETIC AND DONT EFFECT AUDIO PLAYBACK, AND ALSO ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT (SEE PICS)
THE CENTRE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FEINT TINY SPINDLE MARKS (ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ) CONFINED TO THE DISC CENTRE EACH SIDE
THE MATTE OUTER GATEFOLD 1ST PRESS SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT ON THIS RARE GATEFOLD COPY, FULLY LEGIBLE SPINE, STRONG EDGES AND OPENING, NO TEARS OR RIPS OR WRITING ON. SMALL 1" RUB NEAR TOP ONE SIDE ONLY, LOVELY AND CLEAN INSIDE GATEFOLD, A SUPER EXAMPLE !!!
THE CORRECT FIRST PRESS, INNER LYRIC SLEEVES WITH IS ALSO LOVELY WITH SOME MINIMAL AGEING, IMPORTANTLY NO SPLITS, WRITING ETC (SEE PICS )
IN CONCLUSION, A REALLY NICE CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC RARE RL STERLING , ROBERT LUDWIG MASTERED UK FIRST PRESS ALBUM !! ( ITS THE HOLY GRAIL FOR EVERY LED ZEPPELIN FAN, BECAUSE OF THE RL IN DEAD WAX !! )
