VERY SCARCE and HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE!!! LED ZEPPELIN "HOUSES OF THE HOLY" First year pressing, 1973, Atlantic Records (ATL 50 014), GEMA; gatefold cover with cover strip and lyrics inner sleeve. Manufactured in Germany is machine-stamped in the trail-off wax. Matrices: Side 1…WEA 50014-A I…Sterling RL Side 2…WEA 50014-B I…Sterling RL
These early European Analog pressings have stood the test of time and hold their own to the modern day Audiophile reissues of giants like Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL), Music On Vinyl, Classic Records, Analogue Productions, etc. 
One of Led Zeppelin's very best albums. In my opinion, better than Led Zeppelin IV. Clearly defined acoustics and suitably thunderous electric power. Robert Plant's lyrics are among his most creative. 
Led Zeppelin is one of the very rare bands that featured an all-time great musician in every member of the band. Jimmy Page and John Bonham are ALWAYS rated in the top 10 critics list of any music magazine; whereas Plant and John Paul Jones are top-25 guaranteed. Personally, Plant should always be in the top 10, but I represent one person;s opinion.
Gatefold cover with groundbreaking masterful artwork by Hpgosis; textured inner sleeve lyrics.
MINT- Vinyl!!!  EXCELLENT Inner Sleeve!!! Just a tiny bit of age spotting in two places that is hardly noticeable at all! EXCELLENT Gatefold Cover!!! Very slight evidence of fraying in the corner points, and a small area of clear residue in the upper right corner from a sticker removal.  EXCELLENT Fully-Intact Cover Strip!!!
This is a BEAUTIFUL original copy!!!

And remember: When you buy from me, you are buying the VERY best!
