This is the UK 1st Press of 'Presence' by Led Zeppelin. This press is complete with the earliest A1/B1 matrix, the original printed inner sleeve and the matt Presence embossed gatefold sleeve.

The record is in Very Good+ condition. The vinyl on each side has a sensational high gloss, with no whitening of the grooves or obvious wear at all, there is just one small mark on Tea For One and just a couple of the lightest hairlines on each side. The Swan Song labels are completely clean. The colours are exceptionally bold, and the white is bright. The black text is sharp and there is no spindle wear. 

The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and from the moment it begins it is exceptionally rich and vibrant. Superb clarity and separation, the original 1970's warm complete sound. Even in the quietest moments, there is slight noise but it is still superb. There are a couple of pops on the mark. Although not perfect it sounds superb, a pleasure to listen to from start to finish.

The records is complete with the original printed inner sleeve in Very Good condition. The inner sleeve has a clear picture and text. It has a small tear on the top edge and a split on the bottom edge. The whole sleeve is clean and very bright.

The matt embossed sleeve is in Excellent condition. The white is extremely bright. The embossed text is exceptionally sharp and entirely unworn. The colours are vivid and the image is perfect. There is a little discolouration around the edges. The edges are incredibly firm and unworn. The spine is sensational.
