Lemon Song is on side 1 (litigation copy)

 

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.

Very early Litigation copy !

Only the very first presses came out with "Lemon Song" On the label, the "wreck" was corrected to "Livin Lovin Maid" and also "Lemon Song" changed to "Killing Floor"

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!

These are impossible to find in good order now and so so collectable £400+is not unusual! In vgc  £600+ has been seen for a near mint.

This is a "Nr mint condition" copy not perfect or mint with some very light surface lines but no major issues from its 55 year life.....we took the pictures under light to highlight these for clarity. Very clean vinyl , so unusual and hard to find at 55.

This is an affordable way to own a lemon song Red plum vinyl A2B2 1st press under £550 in near mint.

On this record also Plant gets songwriting credits for the first time as he is considered "permanent" following US reaction to the 12 month old line up.

The Record

In Nr mint condition with some light scuffs from sleeve removal and general light wispy lines  over the years, bear in mind this is a 55 year old vinyl record! Nice fat pre oil crisis 60s vinyl wow !

So thick and fat vinyl..very flat on then table with no warping.

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

There is some slight static/light crackle in quieter passages and intros (a professional clean may assist.

We suspect that if you are buying this collectable item you will own other copies to play for ultimate clarify.

Plays suberb on the light tracking Kenwood deck.

On the Rega all amazing superb bass.

We are being clear this is not a new from store vinyl, it's 55.

we prefer to overstate is here so you know.  (see photos under light in listing of surfaces) the record is priced taking account of the extreme rarity, value and overal nr mint vinyl  condition. We want to be a clear as possible in the photos.

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

The Red Plum labels are free of writing doodles or stickers and retain great bold colours with no fade we can notice under light.

The sleeve

Has the "plastic bags can be dangerous" inner sleeve

this is showing its age and has slight yellowed but is intact.

Outer Sleeve

The lighter Brown 1st version "The Brown Bomber"

Having done it's job over 55 years the sleeve has some ring wear and rounding at corners, spine is intact but writing rubbed away, no 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)

Excellent the sleeve.

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

The white areas of this sleeve are often dirty and soiled, 

this one is very very clean, it's ex impossible to find at 55 years old.

Having done it's job over 55 years the sleeve has almost zero ring wear (see photos) so clean this copy.

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

on the incredible clean Ex sleeve and a very collectable nr mint vinyl.

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

This is a great affordable collectable copy! Below 550.
