LED ZEPPELIN
PHYSICAL GRAFFITI
1st Press 2 x Vinyl LP with die-cut sleeve, inner sleeves and gatefold insert.
Year of release - 1975
Made in UK
Swan Song Records - SSK 89400
Matrix codes are as follows:
Record 1: A1 B5
Record 2: C1 D1
First UK issue indication:
The original 1st issue die-cut sleeve has the 484, Kings Road, London SW10 address printed at top rear - see pics.
Although faded, the text on the spine is printed in red.
The two inner sleeves have the letters A & B printed (see Pics)
The record labels are grooved, and DO NOT have the Warners logo.
Condition:
Vinyl/Labels : VG+
I have fully play-tested the LP and it plays well with no serious faults to mention, just some occasional, non-excessive background noticeable in quiet sections, which hardly detracts from enjoyment of the playback. There are a few light hairlines/surface marks visible under a harsh light. Overall, a very respectable example of this rare 1st pressing.
Die-Cut Outer Sleeve/Pic Inners/Gatefold Insert : VG-/VG/Ex
The main body of the outer sleeve is in strong VG condition: all the die-cut windows are perfect, with no tears to them . There is some wear to the corners (there is a small split at both top edges of about 2cm). There is spine wear/edge wear - see pics. Both inner sleeves have a couple of small scuffs near the top edge on the rear sides, and some light edge wear. The gatefold insert is fine - lovely and clean!
Important Information:
Postage & Packaging
Records are packaged safely using strong stiff cardboard and extra bubble wrap to ensure they arrive in the same condition as in my description. I also remove record from outer sleeve and original inner sleeves, to prevent seam splits. I am a record collector myself and understand the importance of safe packaging to ensure safe delivery.
Good luck and happy bidding!
