Led Zeppelin 1 Turquoise Lettering Uk 1st Matrix Excellent Vinyl Sleeve

LED ZEPPELIN - 1 ATLANTIC RECORDS - 588171 UK 1ST PRESS - 1969 UNCORRECTED MATRIX NUMBER A1/B1 TURQUOISE LETTERING ON THE SLEEVE SUPERHYPE CREDIT EARLY EARLY STAMPERS IT NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION, BUT THIS REALLY IS THE TOP ITEM FOR ANY LED ZEPPELIN COLECTOR AND IN THIS CONDITION IT S GOING TO BE SO HARD TO FIND ANOTHER LIKE IT.
THIS REALLY IS THE EARLIEST OF EARLY COPIES FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS 1 A QUOTE FROM THE OWNER THIS WAS BOUGHT THE WEEK IT CAME OUT .
2 IT IS THE ORIGINAL UNCORRECTED MATRIX NUMBER - VERY SHORTLY AFTER IT BEING ISSUED THIS MATRIX NUMBER WAS CHANGED.
SO THE ONLY TRUE ORIGINALS HAVE TO BE UNCORRECTED AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
3 THE SONGS CREDITS ON SIDE ONE SHOW SONG 3 BEING CREDITED TO SUPERHYPE MUSIC AND TO JEWEL MUSIC.
THIS WAS VERY QUICKLY CHANGED TO CREDIT SONG 2 TO SUPERHYPE MUSIC AND LEAVING SONG 3 AS JEWEL MUSIC.
THIS CHANGE MUST HAVE HAPPEND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELEASE AND BEFORE ANY CHANGE TO THE MATRIX NUMBER.
THIS MAKES IT ONE OF THE VERY FIRST EVER.
4 THE STAMPERS ARE VERY EARLY: SIDE ONE IS CLEARLY 1 1 5 AND SIDE TWO LOOKS LIKE 1 2 1, BUT THE 2 LOOKS INVERTED OR PERHAPS AN S.
THESE ARE VERY EARLY INDEED.
VINYL: EXCELLENT A QUOTE FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASES MOUTH I PLAYED THIS LESS THAN 20 TIMES SIDE 1: SUPERB VINYL WITH THE LIGHTEST OF WISPY MARKS SEEN UNDER VERY BRIGHT LIGHT MOST NOTICABLE AROUND TRACK TWO.
IT REALLY IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE.
SIDE 2: AGAIN VERY CLEAN AND VERY BRIGHT SURFACES WITH ONE SMALL BUT VISIBLE MARK AT THE START OF TRACK 2.
THIS IS THE ONLY MARK THAT IS REALLY VISIBLE ON THE ENTIRE RECORD.
IT CANNOT BE FELT TO THE TOUCH AND MEASURES ABOUT 4-5CM.
I HAVE PLAYED THROUGH IT AND IT MADE NO NOISE AT ALL.
I WOULD STILL GRADE THIS SIDE EXCELLENT.
AUDIO: THIS RECORD HASN T BEEN PLAYED FOR PROBABLY 30 YEARS.
IT SOUNDED FANTASTIC.
THERE WAS THE FAINTEST OF CRACKLE IN SOME QUIET PASSAGES WHICH I M SURE AFER A FEW MORE PLAYS OR A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN WOULD MAKE IT SOUND EVEN BETTER.
I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AS EXCELLENT.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT - THIS IS WHAT IT S ALL ABOUT THE ULTRA RARE TURQUOISE SLEEVE IN A STUNNING EXCELLENT CONDITION.
FIRSTLY IT IS SO SO CLEAN VIRTUALLY NO DISCOLOURATION AT ALL.
NICE SHARP CORNERS WITH NO BUMPSCLEARLY VISIBLE GREY STRIPE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SLEEVE.
THIS IS A FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE AND THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS GETTING A NEAR MINT GRADING IS SOME LIGHT CREASING IN THE LAMINATE.
THIS IS MOST VISIBLE AT THE OPENING EDGE ON THE FRONT SIDE AND A VERY LIGHT CREASE TO THE REAR ALSO TOWARDS THE OPENING EDGE.
THESE VERY SMALL INSIGNIFICANT CREASES TAKE VIRTUALLY NOTHING AWAY FROM WHAT IS CLEARLY AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THIS INCREDIBLY RARE SLEEVE.
SPINE: EXCELLENT - AMAZINGLY BRIGHT AND CLEAN EASY TO READ SPINE WITH NICE PINCHED ENDS.
LABELS: EXCELLENT - SUPERBLY CLEAN LABELS WITH ONLY SLIGHTEST SIGNS OF SPINDLE WEAR INNER SLEEVE - IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE.
