A superb early UK pressing of Led Zeppelin – Physical Graffiti, issued on Swan Song as SSK 89400 and carrying the desirable A1 / B5 / C2 / D1 stamped matrices.
This matrix combination is associated with the early UK production of Physical Graffiti and has been documented on copies dating from the album’s original mid-1970s pressing period. The A1/B5/C2/D1 combination is particularly close to the matrices found on the earliest UK issues, while this version is generally catalogued as a 1976 UK repress.
The album is houséd in the celebrated die-cut New York tenement sleeve, designed by Peter Corriston, with the building’s windows revealing different images beneath depending on the position of the internal artwork.
Originally released in 1975, Physical Graffiti brought together new recordings with material developed during earlier Led Zeppelin sessions and became one of the defining double albums of the 1970s.
Across its four sides are some of the band’s most important recordings, including Kashmir, Trampled Under Foot, In My Time Of Dying, Ten Years Gone, The Rover, Houses Of The Holy and In The Light.
A particularly strong VG++/EX early UK copy.
Condition
Sleeve: VG++
The original die-cut outer sleeve presents extremely well with only light signs of previous storage and handling.
The distinctive building artwork remains clean and strongly presented, with the die-cut window structure particularly well preserved.
Considering the elaborate construction of these sleeves and their tendency to pick up edge and window wear, this is a very strong example.
Graded VG++
Vinyl: EX
Both records retain an excellent deep gloss with only minimal evidence of previous handling or play.
Any visible marks are extremely light and superficial, comfortably deserving the EX grade.
The important early A1 / B5 / C2 / D1 matrices remain clearly visible in the runouts.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and condition assessment.
