Original authentic 1st US Atlantic Records pressing factory sealed copy of Led Zeppelin’s 5th studio album “Houses of the Holy” released on March 28, 1973. This copy is a very early pressing with a 4-digit catalog number SD-7255 and we would like to hope that you’ll find the “1855 Broadway, New York, NY” address on the labels. The examples with 2 hype stickers come across extremely rarely. A promotional round “Contains the Hit Single D’yer Ma’ker” hype sticker and a “Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy” track listing sticker. Both stickers are affixed to the shrink wrap and contain the catalog number SD 7255. Underneath the shrink wrap, wrapped around the gatefold cover is a white 1st print ribbon Obi strip with the band name, album title and “SD 7255” catalog number. All of the opened copies of this album we’ve come across with contain the Robert Ludwig mastering and most likely, this copy also has the “RL” initials etched in the runout groove on both sides. It's most likely inside you'll find a white custom "Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy" inner sleeve with the lyrics and credits. 

★

The album is in amazing Mint condition. The fully intact shrink wrap containing the original breathe holes, one on each side of the cover, doesn't have any splits, missing pieces or tears only having some very light age shelf wear.
