Led Zeppelin iii First Press Peter Grant/J Page Credit A5/B5.


Decent copy of this first pressing of Zeppelin’s third album.


Etched matrices and “do what thou wilt/so mote it be” . If you need any more info on numbers etc let me know


The disc is VG+; there are small surface scratches at the end of side 1 and 2; also on side 2 there is a circular scuff towards the end of Hats off to Roy Harper. This causes the music to distort for a few seconds-sound loss in one channel and clicking as the song finishes  This produces ; not a problem on side one. I’ve taken pictures. There is also a circular scratch in the dead wax side 1.


Side 1 starts a bit crackly in the dead wax but as soon as the music kicks in it’s gone. There’s light background In between tracks and on quieter moments, but not constant and definitely not intrusive. The music is clear with no vocal distortion. Near excellent playback


Side 2 has light background at start, between tracks and during quieter moments on gallows pole, tangerine. Nothing loud or intrusive. The music is deep and rich with no distortion VG+ playback apart from the issue with Hats off as mentioned above


The sleeve is VG+. It has some discolouring and small corner dinks, very light edge wear. Spine is fully readable, again it is discoloured. Fully working wheel


There are plenty of photos so have a good look


Original inner sleeve; I will put the disc in a poly lined inner for transit


There are plenty of photos, please check them out
