Up for sale is this overall MINT- conditioned early pressing of "Led Zeppelin I" released in The United States in 1971. The record # is SD 8216 with the 1841 Broadway address on the record & cover. The dead wax has the 'MR' which means the record was pressed at Monarch Records. This is the best analogue stereo pressing outside of the very expensive 1st UK pressing. The dead wax also has "ST-A-681461CC REPL at/gp which means the pressing was mastered by George Piros. The cover is in MINT condition still mostly in the original factory shrink. All 4 corners are square and there is no seam splits or edge wear. The front & back slicks are GLOSSY. The printing on the spine is perfectly centered. The shrink has a factory breath hole on the back. The LP vinyl record is in MINT- condition with just a trace of play wear. The record retains all the original shine & luster. The record plays amazing on my Thornes turntable with a White Hot Analogue Stereo Mix with hardly any noise at all between tracks. The original printed Atlantic Records inner sleeve is in excellent condition with no seam splits. Thanks Frank
