Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarety and attraction for collection purposes, the record and sleeve are original and 52 years old

Led zeppelin II recorded on their "mayhem tours" in USA in 1969, this is very much the sound of a band at work and finding their direction.

The classic tracks are here by the bucketful, Whole Lotta Love, Lemon Song, Heartbreaker all jump off the grooves with incredible clarity.

Page got what he wanted here soundwise and the mixing done at various locations dictated by tour schedule are a credit to the producer.

This recording really put Zeppelin on the map and Atlantic had to give the highest advance to make sure Peter Grants Boys didn't look elsewhere, one of the greatest acts in rock history were in business to stay for a long time to come.

Litigation copy !

Only the first presses came out with "Lemon Song" On the label, this was hastily retitled on Peter Grants orders on later presses for fear of impending litagation from the estate of "blind lemon jefferson"

Grab yourself a piece of rock history!

Also has the `Shes a Woman` error or side 2 and `Thankyou` error on side 1, should read `shes just a woman` and `Thank You` these rarer error error copies are hard to find in Ex and impossible in Nr Mint.

These are getting harder to find in anything like this condition, also Plant gets songwriting credits for the first time as he is considered "permanent" following US reaction to the 12 month old line up.

also shows `Copyright Control` at 6 o'clock on the label, not on later copies.

Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarety and attraction for collection purposes, the record and sleeve are original and over 52 years old

The Record

First Available Matrix A2 B2

Vinyl is "Excellent" Condition

Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarety and attraction to collectors.

 

In Ex with only light surface lines (see photos) and only some minor scuffs and scrapes from sleeve removal over the years, bear in mind this is a 52 year old vinyl record!

Nice fat pre oil crisis 60s vinyl wow ! truly a collectors dream...at this price!

Great highs and lows great audio.

At the start of side 2 there is some slight static which are audible before Jimmy Page hits the first note in track 1 "Heartbreaker" after music starts all clear throughout. cant stress enough how "clear" this is...

this is a great play through with no issues and great audio from this 1969 A2 B2 UK first press.

No skips or sticks or jumps , we playtested on our super fussy Kenwood light tracking deck as well as the Rega all clear and  sounding excellent.

 

 No jumps or sticks on our Rega 3 a professional clean may assist (we don't do this as its an individual thing) there is some static in quieter places but not many of those..

Plays fantastic with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) light background static can be heard in the quieter passages but not many of those!

The labels are "Ex " they are clean bright and free of writing doodles or stickers and retain great bold colours. (see pictures to labels) 

See pictures in the listing you can see very clean surfaces and show only light wear on labels and on the record.

Plays clear with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some normal light background static is audable in the quieter passages only...

Nice Thick fat 70s pre oil crisis vinyl very flat on the table.

This is a great play through with no issues and great audio from this 1969 A2 B2 first press. The vinyl has not been played too often in its life with us (many years in storage in the vault)

No skips or sticks or jumps , we playtested on our super fussy Kenwood light tracking deck as well as the Rega all clear and  sounding Excellent.

 The labels are "EX " are clean bright and free of writing doodles or stickers and retain great bold colours.

see picture still has some plastic residue around centre hole.

The sleeve

Excellent Condition

The lighter Brown 1st version

Having done it's job over 52 years the sleeve has some ring wear and rounding corners but no rips or tears on the "EJ Day" London W1 sleeve with the "uptight and Outasight" Atlantic appreciation society (17-19 Stratford Place, London, W1)  message (not on later versions) (see photos) Ex

No splits or tears, colours are good and not a lot fading, the thick card holds up well, no writing , names or stickers.

Having done it's job over 52 years the sleeve has some light ring wear only (see photos rear cover) 

there is the only very light removal soiling to the white parts of this sleeve (see pictures in the listing) but light nothing drastic. 

 this has a great spine totally readable and no heavy wear.

original 52 year old  thick card "light brown" bomber cover.

Kept in a PVC sleeve for many years vertical in storage. The spine is readable and in good order.

No splits or tears, colours are good and clear only storage use over the years to the sleeve , the thick card holds up well, no writing , names or stickers. 

on the whole a Ex sleeve and a great collectable " Ex" 1st UK press 1969 vinyl.

This is a great copy for someone looking for a wholly original 1st press of this great album. 

not if the buyer wants a "Nr Mint" " or a record store new reissue this is a "used 52 year old vinyl record and sleeve"

"Mint" and some "Excellent" advertised copies are almost impossible now £200+ and the rare "livin lovin wreck copies" £400+ (see my other listings)

This is a great lemon song on label A2 B2 pressing these were only produced in Red Plum with "Lemon Song" on the label for the first few months of release...a bargain "Ex" below £200.

on later copies "Killin Floor" was substituted for "Lemon Song " and a darker brown outer cover was used.. the early 1 st presses are now getting hard to find in reasonable condition as they were "played"

See photos.....

Still has its original `Plastic Bags Can Be Dangerous` inner sleeve see photo.

See pictures in the listing you can see the very light surface lines only on the record.

Plays clear with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) only light background static in the quieter passages, rare.

Nice Thick fat 70s pre oil crisis vinyl very flat on the table.
