Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.

My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.

You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.


Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin - Red & Plum Atlantic Labels - Stereo - Earliest 1st UK Pressing - Extremely Rare LP It is Believed that only a couple of thousand 'Turquoise' Sleeve Earliest Pressings were ever made - Stunning Vinyl + Stunning Sleeve + Original Inner


Stunning 1st pressing which has the turquoise sleeve, Superhype label credits and uncorrected matrixes as follows:

Side 1: 588171 A//1

Side 2: 588171 B//1

Only the very first pressings have the UNCORRECTED A1/B1 matrixes. All subsequent A1/B1 issues have the second 8 crossed-out and then re-etched above


Side One has a couple of faint and fine non feeling scratches and a handful of slight groove marks (non of these affect play at all)  and the odd extremely light sleeve removal trace under strong artificial light. Side Two has just a couple of the finest and faintest scratches which again are non feeling and do not affect play , It has a great original lustre and shine and it's a Stunning example of this Very Rare Earliest Pressing, Not quite perfect but certainly one of the best you will find.

PLAYTESTED and the audio is strong and vibrant, no deterioration in sound, it sounds amazing, Excellent audio, No Jumps, sticks or skips and it lays flat on the turntable. Very slight static in the quite parts, this has not been cleaned but has been stored for 40+ years so will benefit from a proper clean which I will let the new owner do/consider.


Labels both have slight signs of play(spiders legs) under strong light, Both labels are clean and free from the usual writing etc Stunning...see photos

Original laminated Earliest and rarest Turquoise Sleeve Is Stunning with only a little wear. The front and back of sleeve show NO rubbing to either face, super glossy with only a few handling marks that im sure will clean off (just finger smudges), a handful of tiny creases from spine edge but no thumbnails or other creasing at all. No corner wear. No wear to top edge or bottom edge. Light handling wear to opening edge and the slightest trace of selotape residue from the 70s on the outside and a brown stripe just inside the sleeve along opening edges (not visable from the outside). Spine is solid and still fully readable, still pinched each end, only one tiny bump inear the middle....see photos...This is a Stunning Example of this sleeve that when they do come up, normally has yellowing, creasing and wear to edges and corners. This one is one of the best you will find.

The original Poly Lined Inner has no splits and is clean and flat, a couple of small tears from middle cutout circle and the poly lining is unstuck from one side.
