Description
LED ZEPPELIN III UK 1ST PRESS A5/B5 RED PLUM PETER GRANT CROWLEY VG++
🎸 TRUE UK 1ST PRESS – A5/B5 + CROWLEY
Genuine 1970 UK Atlantic 2401002 first pressing with A5 / B5 matrices and the famous Crowley inscriptions: “Do what thou wilt” / “So mote it be” in the dead wax on each side – the spec serious collectors insist on.
💥 CORRECT “CELEBRATION DAY” – NOT THE LATER MISPRINT
Labels show the properly spelled “Celebration Day” track title. Copies with the “Celebration” misprint are a slightly later run – this is the earlier correct label with all details present and correct.
📀 PETER GRANT CREDITED – COMPLETE LABEL TEXT
Red/plum Atlantic labels with “Produced by Jimmy Page” and “Executive Producer: Peter Grant” plus Polydor Records Limited rim text. This is the highly sought-after Peter Grant / Crowley / correct Celebration Day combination – many so-called “first presses” online miss one of those key elements.
🔥 STUNNING VG++ / VG++ AUDIO & VISUALS
Vinyl retains a deep gloss, just a few light paper scuffs under strong light. Plays big, powerful and detailed, with only the lightest occasional background in the quiet intros and fades – no jumps, sticks or nasty marks. This is the kind of copy you upgrade to, not from.
🌟 BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL GATEFOLD WITH WORKING WHEEL
Front panel still has lovely sheen, colours bright and unfaded. All die-cut holes and rotating wheel are intact and fully functional, spine text readable, only very minor edge/corner wear and a whisper of ringwear. see front cover photo's - there a slight mark. Inside gatefold artwork is crisp and clean – no writing, stamps or tears.
🧾 PERFECT 1ST ISSUE CREDITS INSIDE
Inner gatefold carries the original 1970 credit block with “Produced by Jimmy Page / Executive Producer: Peter Grant” and full publishing details – exactly what collectors expect from an authentic first UK issue.
🎧 CARED-FOR AUDIOPHILE COLLECTION COPY
From a meticulous, smoke-free collection. Record has been kept in a modern archival inner (original style plain inner included) and stored upright. Cleaned ultrasonically and play-checked right through.
🚀 WHY THIS COPY JUSTIFIES THE PREMIUM
Finding a UK A5/B5 red-plum with Peter Grant credit, correct “Celebration Day”, full Crowley quotes, strong VG++/VG++ condition and a fully working wheel is getting genuinely difficult. Cheaper copies are almost always later matrices, misprint labels, missing details or simply thrashed. This is the complete package for the dedicated Zep collector.
