This is a very rare and highly collectible two-tone purple and brown label original Atlantic pressing of Zep's classic first album. This pressing includes the long pause between "Communication Breakdown" & "I Can't Quit You Baby." I have had this in my personal collection for years.  This is an above average copy compared to most out there, as most are beat up, though it is not a top copy and is priced accordingly.  


Jacket: VG++, vibrant colors, no ringwear, solid spine, no seam splits, jacket is flat, no saw cuts or punch holes 


Vinyl: VG+, no warping, clean labels, there are some superficial marks, overall a pleasurable listen, play graded to have two quick ticks on "Good Times Bad Times" that do not detract overall, a little background noise during quiet moments but nothing bad


Matrices - side A: STA-681461-PR 2S   1+  A2, side B: STA-681462-PR 4S    1+  D1


I'm a long-time vinyl and memorabilia collector, bid with confidence as I do not over-grade. All pictures are posted without filters.
