E DAY & CO IST PRESS EARLIEST LIGHT BROWN GATEFOLD COVER WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND BLUE/GREEN SPINE EDGE
ONE OF THE RAREST UK LED ZEPPELIN UK ALBUMS. THIS FEATURES THE VERY IST LABEL VARIATION'LIVING LOVIN WRECK'
VERY FEW WERE INITIALLY PRESSED AND WERE SOON WITHDRAWN AND THE LABELS REPRINTED WITH THE TITLE 'LIVIN LOVIN MAID'
THIS WAS ALSO THE EARLIEST VARIATION FEATURING THE LEMON SONG ON THE LABELS WHICH WAS ALSO WITHDRAWN LATER TO FEATURE THE KILLING FLOOR INSTEAD.
THE VINYL IS THE HEAVIER AND THICK TYPE OF VINYL ONLY FOUND ON EARLY PRESSINGS
THE VINYL LAYS FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE AND RETAINS ITS GLOSSY SHEEN
ON INITIAL INSPECTION THE VINYL LOOKS REALLY EXCELLENT WITH ONE VERY LIGHT SCUFF VISABLE, WHEN TAKEN INTO BRIGHT SUNLIGHT YOU CAN SEE SOME VERY FINE SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS AND WISPS
THE AUDIO IS VERY GOOD WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT PLEASE ALLOW FOR LIGHT STATIC DURING THE QUIETER PARTS- IT IS 40YRS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LABELS ARE THE ORIGINAL RED/PLUM ATLANTIC WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED MISSPRESS OF LIVIN LOVIN WRECK AND LEMON SONG CREDIT.THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH MINIMAL SPINDLE LINES.
THE COVER IS THE ORIGINAL E.DAY & CO EARLIEST 1ST ISSUE FEATURING THE LIGHTER BROWN COLOURING.
THE SPINE EDGE HAS THE MEGA RARE BLUE/GREEN STRIP. I'VE SEEN OTHER COVERS ADVERTISED AS 1ST PRESSING BUT NOT WITH THIS GREENY BLUE SPINE EDGE- THIS IS SERIOUSLY RARE!
THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO WRITING, COLOURS BRIGHT AS THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED
THE FRONT COVER IS VERY GOOD + WITH SOME EDGWEAR
THE BACK COVER HAS SLIGHT RUBWEAR
THE SPINE EDGE CLEARLY HAS THE GREENY STRIP AND ALL TITLES ARE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
OVERALL A NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PRESSING

GRADINGS
MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised, as Sealed or Unplayed will be mint.
EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks but there will be very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD + The record may have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only barely detectable crackles or pops. A slight noise at the beginning is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless. Definitely no scratches or gouges that a touch with a dry finger can feel. The cover may only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKED IN PROPER MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS
