Led Zeppelin I 1 LP Debut Self - Titled UK Transitional ' 72 Red & Plum Cat Deadwax
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1884011 |
An original Q1 1972 transitional pressing just after Atlantic had shifted to the new label design. If you are someone very fussy on the covers and the vinyl a Zep1 is going to set you back big $$$. However, if you want to get the perfect audio and are prepared to compromise with a copy from just a couple of years later this one may fit the bill. It's so close to being a 'red & plum' copy that on side 2 the audio is actually identical to a late red & plum press. On side 1 we hav...e the new Kinney matrix & catalogue info and side 2 a dual matrix of new Kinney catalogue and original plum catalogue '588171'. Matrix A1/B4 - [just like the final plum copies]. Please note the labels do not exhibit any perimeter text in the upper-hemisphere, or the Warners logo. So, this copy dates from just after the Kinney takeover Q1 1972. The vinyl comes housed in an original Kinney period cover with pinched spine - correct for '72. Also included is the original inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In terrific condition and has only seen the lightest of use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Zep 1 is a difficult LP to find playing clean all the way through. There are lots of complex passages and lots of low-key passages. What you need is total silence in the back ground...ideally. And this copy delivers just that and some impressive audio to boot. Interference is borderline non-existent. All we could detect were a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated moments. As good a rendition as you could hope to find. FINAL UPGRADE material.
Cover (Ex/Ex+) A beautifully preserved cover and doesn't look far off new. Very nice clean and shiny front with just some laminate lift, as is common, on the spine edge. Ditto the rear...which looks equally good. Edge wear is very very minor and the openings are still sharp. The text on the spine is all legible with very little wear at all. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity. A mighty impressive example.
Inner (Ex) No splits. Superb condition.
