I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A SMALL COLLECTION OF HIGH QUALITY FOREIGN PRESS ROCK LPs IMPORTED FROM KOREA, JAPAN, GERMANY, AND THE UK - I'LL BE OFFERING TITLES FROM THIS COLLECTION FOR THE NEXT WEEK - IF YOU COLLECT AUDIOPHILE QUALITY IMPORTED PRESSINGS KEEP WATCHING MY AUCTIONS - I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING!
This is a HIGH QUALITY 1977 SWAN SONG RECORDS JAPAN FIRST PRESSING OF THE 1977 LP titled 'Presence' from legendary blues rockers Led Zeppelin.  It is Swan Song Records Japan catalog number P1016-ON, gatefold cover, with the 'obi' title strip damaged but present.  Record comes packaged inside the cover in its original rice paper lined inner sleeve, with its original lyric sheet insert written in Japanese and in English.
Japanese gatefold 1st issue with obi & Japanese and English text/lyrics insert.   Band name and album title embossed on front sleeve, Swan Song logo embossed on back sleeve. Includes printed inner-sleeve and lyrics insert.       Tracks:   A1  Achilles Last Stand   10:26 A2  For Your Life   6:21 A3  Royal Orleans   2:58 B1  Nobody's Fault But Mine   6:15 B2  Candy Store Rock   4:10 B3  Hots On For Nowhere   4:42 B4  Tea For One   9:27
Condition of record is a SOLID NM with no visible surface marks. Condition of cover is a low VG+ with the main flaw being a fair amount of small brown mildew spots, mostly along the edges of the inside of the gatefold cover.  cover also has just a little bit of wear along the edges and on the corners.  'Obi' title strip has a torn away and missing area in its lower right front cover side as can be seen in my accompanying image.  Lyric sheet insert is in good shape with no real flaws.  I have started this listing at a modest opening bid price in view of the condition issues with the cover - This high quality Japan press LP would be a nice addition to any Led Zeppelin or classic rock record collection!
