Led Zeppelin
III
Transitional pressing - with Red & Plum matrix as well as later matrix PLUS ETCHED:
"Do What Thou Wilt"
EMBOSSED LAMINATED SLEEVE-WITH ROTATING WHEEL.

Released on the 5th of October 1970, this Lp was to define the 70's hard rock scene... & what an album!! Entering the UK charts at the No. 1 position.
Most of the songs on this album were composed in Bron-Yr-Aur, an 18th-century cottage in Gwynedd, Wales during the mid 70's, after a hectic North American tour.

Catalogue Number: K 50002
GREEN & ORANGE label

Matrix Numbers:
Side 1: K 50002 A / DO WHAT THOU WILT 2401002 A-5 etched (with 'AJD' also etched??)
Side 2: K 50002 B / 2401002  B//6 v 420 Stamped

The Vinyl:
QUALITY 140g
VG.
There are a few light marks to the vinyl, which only provide some very light and only occasional background noise.
I noticed a smal skip on track 2, side 1....I think this could be played over with a heavier stylus than mine...This is why I have given her a VG grading...The rest of the album sounds great!
I have just given her a gentle vacuum clean and then popped her on my deck...I wasn't dissapointed at all :)...Turn up Gallows Pole-what a classic.
HAS A DEEP, RICH SOUND REPRODUCTION, WITH CLEAR HIGHS TOO.
SOLID QUALITY VINYL.
FLAT.


The Labels:
EX-.
ORIGINAL Green & Orange labels.
They are the 1st re-pressing UK labels, with the inner groove and the rim text not penetrating the central white band.
Minimal central hole, with many light spindle marks-visible when angled towards the light and looking for them.
Executive Producer: Peter Grant
