LED ZEPPELIN/III 2401-002 (-70) UK

 

  Finding special issues of famed albums in decent and playable nick means a lot to me. Especially as I'm trying to survive on a relatively low pension and have a limited choice of dealers to visit. Been burned from bying on the net too many times so that's not an option for me anymore. And it is more of a sport finding the good stuff with modest means. If you have all the money in the world there's only a minor challange and I guess a lot less fun. I've always been happy listening to my US press  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2020/03/led-zeppeliniii-sd-7201-70-us.html . Still when this UK showed up in a bin to an affordable price I couldn't resist. Not top condition, but very playable with decent sleeve. And it is a first press, shown by matrices having etched "Do what thou wilt" and "So mote it be" and the label error - having "Clelebration Day" as "Celebration" only. Audio ok, though the volume shifts between songs, for exemple making "Immigrant Song" coming out very low, so if you have that loud enough in the beginning you might have to adjust the volume before listening to the rest. But that's a minor concern, in all it's pleasant listening. Issued and re-issued all over the world on all possible formats through the years. First UK had label as shown here in a fully laminated fold/out cover with revolving picture disc inside.  (LÖZ*) (ÄTHP*)
