led zeppelin 1 remastered vinyl

If Living Loving Maid is mis-credited as “Living Loving Wreck” it’s worth around £250 to a collector. Great article. I am also sorry to report that despite having an engaging stereo soundstage, JPJ sounds like he’s playing bass through a guitar amp and Bonzo’s kick drum has been replaced with a cardboard box. Cheers and Ramble On , Hello Myles. I would love to hear your thoughts on what I’m holding on to here. WTF in the early eighties for £20 (I think). I have a question has anyone ever seen this led zeppelin record it has and old picture of them bonham on the left page in the middle with a scarf jones on the right and kneeling down in front is a striped shirt plant. If it’s 1969 and still sealed, it’s probably worth quite a bit! If it is 75 Rockefeller instead (but still SD-8236), you have a circa-1974 re-issue (Atlantic moved their offices to the latter address in 1973). What turntable did you buy? The first album was released in the US much earlier than in England – in 1968 on test pressing mono and stereo. Now that you mention it, the first 2 tracks seem to lack low bass, (apart from a bass drum hit just before the fade out of Custard Pie). Acest al șaselea album al celor de la Led Zeppelin se îndreaptă spre o serie de compoziții mai avangardiste, anunțate încă de pe ultima piesă a discului anterior, The Ocean și de alte pasaje ale unor piese de pe Houses of the Holy. This is her self-titled debut 1969 album which collected her Chess singles and holds up really well, especially with the volume turned up. I have a copy of Led Zeppelin II pressed in 1982 in Iceland. Cheers. Hello. Made in EU 180 Gram Vinyl Glossy Booklet with Credits LP's 1- 4 in White Glossy Covers LP 5 in Black Glossy Cover - Unreleased audio---Tracks A1, A2, A4, I1 I don’t have an audiophile- level stereo either…. I would think that if the incorrect side had a rather unpopular artist on it, it may not be worth much more than the correct version of the album. These can be bought for substantially less, albeit on lightweight eighties vinyl. Such as value, the rarity, & if I should have it insured etc. Anyway, when I got home and played it, it was something completely different on side 2. About those Atco records.. But as a Zeppelin vinyl collector myself, I’d like to add a few clarification comments if I may. Which just goes to show how gullible people were in the seventies…. I didn’t know it at the time, but my US pressing was pretty early and has excellent sound – probably better than an equivalent UK version. Anyway, to the point, Porky is just one of many iterations of dead-wax notations from the king of all mastering (imo) George Peckham, not George Piros as you’ve mentioned. Sometimes matrix numbers are input incorrectly, so a scratch out and correction is done. Jewel music underneath Warner Bros on a second line. It comes down to personal taste, but even if I had the money I wouldn’t feel happy about spending a grand on a record. ( Log Out /  Hi. Than a later Edition, the vocals further. So that’s a pretty limited early eighties pressing! OK, stupid question. You’ll get the best price selling individually on eBay, but check out record Collector magazine -there are plenty of dealers for a job lot – just don’t expect to be paid what they are worth. Hi Amanda, I think you’ll get best prices on eBay, but it takes time and you need to give good descriptions and photos. I’m a big vinyl fan having spent most of my life with it after my first introduction to it at the tender age of 6 (possibly earlier) when I used to listen to my dads collection (when dad was out and mum was in the kitchen of course !). Second pressings – still from the sixties and with orange lettering on the cover – are marginally less ridiculously priced, but may still set you back a few hundred quid if mint. It seems Led Zep are an exception: they had such great success in the USA that this generally fairly reliable guideline doesn’t hold true – after the first album at least. Does that help? Your best barometer of value would be to use Ebay’s advanced search feature and search in the Sold Listings category. Cheers. One idea for a value might be to list it on Ebay but include an astronomical Reserve Price (so that you’ll be sure nobody meets it), and see what kind of bidding activity and price it goes up to. The label is smaller in diameter (3&7/8 inches wide; original is 4 inches wide), the bottom half of it is more pink colored (original is closer to plum), and the trail-off area is about twice as wide as on the original. and listen to Zep, like everything else these days on my iTunes. I would recommend you first grade your records according to Goldmine or Record Collector grading standards, then search Ebay (both current and ended listings) to get an idea of what they’re going for in that condition. But when one is an audiophile and a strict empiricist such eldritch contradictions of all time and space simply can not be denied. I paid £12 for mine (I think) so it isn’t wildly valuable but nice to have regardless I would say…. These were not big pressings, approximately between 250 to 500 copies for each title”. The last time I saw over 500 pounds 3 years ago. It’s because I could get *almost* the same thing for thirty-two pounds fifty less, and a penny saved is, as the saying goes, a penny earned. To be honest, all the English edition of the 1st album sounds awful – flat, no bass, no volume. Two things. It is an RL cut (SD 8236) also has The Lemon Song with credits to Page & Plant. Cheers! Having a sealed (and thus guaranteed never played) record from ’69 has to be quite a rarity. After all, it is Robert Plant vocals. I have Robert Plants autograph. Look for an “RL” in the runout groove (Robert Ludwig). So, at best, the UK pressings have started with a duplication of the master tape, not the original master tape itself. I have a copy of Zepp IV Atlantic serial number kdr19129r which normally is a standard album. The AT looks very nice – always good to spend slightly more than you wanted to – I think you end up being happy about it in the end…. Unfortunately the majority of US copies vocal is removed into the background. How stupid was I when I was only 16 years old? Are you sure it’s from 1968? Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. We’re, can I get led zeppelin vinyls records from the first edition thank u, Your local record store (if there are any near you still) may have some, but your best source will be Ebay. *looks to camera* Ksd would indicate that it’s a Canadian pressing. I’m prepared to take a small drop in quality to pay a lot less and enjoy every other aspect of vinyl ownership. I know it is not stylus damage (which sounds the same) because I have owned it from new. Sadly, his skill at remastering old recordings is meh at best. They therefore fetch the most money. I have an old Led Zeppelin II LP which has a discrepancy between the disk label and the album cover as to which tracks are on what side. Don’t think this is true that the UK Plum’s were not from the masters. But I can guess that it is probably the killer. It’s hard to say. Have waited a looong time for a reissue of one of my favourite albums, Aimee Mann’s Batchelor No 2. Specially clear during In The Light, when some sort of static is heard from time to time. Not quite as common are actual track and album side errors like the one you had, but they do happen and are not necessarily “rarities”. The pressing company was named Alfa, and most covers were printed in Prisma, both of which are located in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland. Got a photo or two you can post? Unbelievable sounding! I hope there are some fellow nerds out there who find this interesting. Anyone know anything about Icelandic Led Zep pressings? But it is even more rare. I just recently came home after purchasing LZ: IV and It turned out to be a clear Atco record.. Is this good or bad? #ironmaiden #numberofthebeast. So glad I stumbled onto your site and look forward to exploring it thoroughly. However, a bit of impromptu research from some audiophiles* has revealed that in the majority of cases the US pressing actually sounds better than the UK one. Thank you for reading my post. If so, that was an inner sleeve that may have been common to many LPs released by Atlantic at that time of release. I’m more interested in the extra tracks and outtakes Page has promised for Led Zep III and onwards. For instance, the records are dipped during the manufacturing process into vats of acid right? Yes, the inner bag is what I am referring to. Finally, a few words about Physical Graffiti. The story goes that the turntables of the day couldn’t handle the dynamics and people were returning them left, right and centre. You can look at a site such as Discogs to et an idea of value of albums – it all comes down to condition. Quite a few think the 200gm Classic Pressing is the best to get on this one. I've always said that Classic Records folded too soon, as the record resurgence happend JUST after. If it has “Maid” rather than “Wreck”,look at “The Lemon Song”. Led Zeppelin, or more specifically, Jimmy Page, negotiated their recording contract with Atlantic Records USA; there are several interviews with Page that confirm this business deal. Burnett is Howlin’Wolf’s real name. Great info here, thanks. Now I will tell you my thoughts after listening to many instances. Really? What country is it from? So my strategy would be either to find an old, battered copy of Led Zep 1 that you could swap the bags around with (and then sell the record for what you paid for it), or better still, find an album sold by Atlantic around the same time as Led Zep 1 that also had the same bag (which is likely to be cheaper than a new copy of Led Zep 1) and swap them around that way. This is an awesome post. Also, if you don’t already know about the issue status, be sure to do some research to determine if yours are first pressings or re-issues, and what country they are from. Worth buying if you come across it. The next edition – it mispress (ATCO). This applies to all editions – and 1st turquoise with uncorrected matrixes, and with corrected, and Warner. The worst of all the albums. all my albums are from 1969 to early 80’s, all of Zep, Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Floyd, etc and I’d like to sell the lot, anywhere in the UK that might buy the entire collection ? Glad I read this cos my original Led Zep 1 is the red and plum version in mint…. However, whichever copy you look for, finding Led Zep II in great condition is harder work than listening to Depeche Mode’s third album. I know this sounds just flat crazy. Otherwise it looks & sounds excellent, and certainly an improvement on my 30+ year old Onkyo which was past its prime. How do they sound, I do not know unfortunately. It was published on August 10th, 1983 in Korea. It wasn’t Led Zeppelin at all, more a Perry Como like artist or some other sleezy stuff. Celebration Day will premiere this Saturday, May 30, at 8pm UK / 3pm ET / 12pm PT, on the Official Led Zeppelin … Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. I can’t find much information about it online. Its a pity that the extras on Led Zep III don’t include the version of “Friends” Page & Plant recorded with the Bombay Symphony in 1972, returning from their Australasian tour. Because the value in buying any forthcoming re-issue will be in the quality of the vinyl – especially for the first four albums. Hi .. Playing some Chicago blues from the fab Koko Taylor. There is a picture of the LZ II mastertape (from New York) in an audiophile magazine titled Stereophile which details how Classic Records obtained and developed their reissue series. My only disappointment is that it doesn’t have auto-return, but that’s something I’m living with. The album you had was Led Zeppelin’s 1971 untitled 4th album, commonly called IV or Zoso, not Led Zeppelin III (1970). I’ve never seen that kdr prefix on the catalog number before; are you sure it’s not ksd? The same is true IMHO of Dark side of the Moon, where the much desired blue triangle first pressing commonly has a pressing fault at the very start of side 2 and sometimes also on side 1, after that it sounds fantastic; but so does the A3/B3 second (or third) pressing which has no pressing faults and amazingly sells for only a tenth of the price. I’m not convinced having Perry Como on one side would increase the value of a Led Zep record. Thanks – it might be worth checking the colour of your copy of Led Zep I…. Love that cover art too. Discogs states this info about the Houses album: “Between 1981 and 1984 there was applied an 85% luxury tax on vinyl imports in Iceland, which forced 3 Icelandic companies to start pressing vinyl in Iceland: labels Steinar, Fálkinn and Spor. In a word, yes. You can imagine my shock when I put it on the turntable all those years ago. The notion that US pressings of III sound better than a UK Plum original is simply not true. Interesting. I’m the original owner and have kept them put away safe. Why people pay 5 times more for the version with the blue writing rather than white writing is beyond me because the discs are from exactly the same master. You can find them on Ebay occasionally. An important distinction to make here is between asking prices and selling prices; just because someone is asking $100 for an item doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth $100. Either way though, be prepared to spend a lot of money if you want them in good playing condition…, I have a.led.zep1v.limited colored. Look also for a light brown sleeve with a blurry green edge. Evenings With Led Zeppelin is a show-by-show narrative of every known Led Zeppelin performance that portrays with pinpoint accuracy the group’s rapid ascent from playing to a few hundred at London’s Marquee Club to selling out the 20,000 capacity Madison Square Garden in New York – all in a mere eighteen months. But received wisdom, I have discovered, is not always correct. Wizardo is a bootleg label. That’s excellent – thank you for sharing this. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. Be sure to take and post good photos and accurately describe the conditions of your records (based on the Goldmine or Record Collector grading scale). Hi. I also have the (SIC) “House of the holy” French pressing, pictured, which also sounds great, (has anyone compared it to the US RL version? Still a first pressing, but without the “Living Loving Wreck” mis-print is a £60 copy in mint condition which lists “The Lemon Song”, crediting the writers as Plant and Page on the label. Hi. They actually ran off 100,000 copies which jumped all over the place because they didn’t follow Jimmy’s precise instructions on the master tape. Have all the albums on vinyl, though I have no idea about their desirability. New reissues tend to be digital remastered so your buying essentially an oversized cd. Welcome to Barnes & Noble's Vinyl Store. I have a mint condition LED ZEPPLIN collection that I am considering to sell. Just a quick point of note..by the way liked going through this article, vinyl is nothing if not interesting to learn about. As for the value, it’s hard to say. Just playing Side 1 of PG now (-1 matrix)… also side one matrix has 588 171 with the 8 etched and side two 588 171 with no 8 etched same as the Turquoise, I would be interested in what you reckon thanks. Incidentally, I bought an original copy of Led Zeppelin I with the turquoise lettering in near mint condition from Leigh Record Exchange (same shop?) Thank you Chris- enjoying your authoritative advice! Even though I have a clean set of Zeppelin LPs I’m pretty sure they’re all ’80s pressings. Amazing press. Side One marked (ST-A-691672R1) and Side Two marked ST-A-691671R1). Amazing post. So I would assume the info would be the same for the Icelandic Led Zep II and Coda. This is because the global nature of Ebay allows basically a worldwide audience to see and bid on an item, and also allows for the value to change on an almost instant basis (as outside market forces affect values, or two collectors engage in a bidding war over the item). Good luck. But many dealers mistakenly think these things are indeed rarities and will assign a premium value to them. So if one is after early rock albums like these, to listen to not collect and they aren’t millionaire is their any internet reference that can help find best pressings at affordable prices? Can you tell me about CODA,I would grade it as excellent -, due to the fact I dropped my eyeliner pencil and the back of the sleeve has a tiny dot on it, the vinyl is a++. Additionally, there were Deluxe Editions containing previously unreleased material from the vaults. Vinyl looks like1971 would u no if it is worth anything. That will give you a pretty good indication of its current value. Is it valuable at all? If so, assuming it’s in near-mint condition, maybe around £10.00. Guitars çut, clear full drums, great stereo imaging. It smokes a slightly later German version I have. Sd-8236.. Are either one of these worth money? Led Zep II is less expensive, and there are a couple of things to look out for: Top money for Led Zep 2 can be up to £250 for a mint first pressing – identifiable by a mis-credited “Living Loving Wreck” on the label. I have a Led Zeppelin III on vinyl and it looks just like the picture you have of the US release…red and green with the titles of the songs listed down vertically, unlike the picture of … Mai multe piese de pe Physical Graffiti au intrat în conștiința rockerilor ca emblematice pentru acest super grup. No record label would ever send the original master tape anywhere in the world, especially for a group that sold multi-millions of physical formats like LZ. As for value: about the same as a Physical reissue, but you may get a bit more from a collector who views it as a curiosity. Hi I have a question if you could help me I have a pink vinyl led zeppelin iv printed in 1971, which I bought new from a record shop as a teenager. Ive a question I cant seem to get info on: I have 3 Sealed Zeppelin LP’s, all three have a sticker that says “d/j copy monaural” and in the edges of the round sticker it says “promotional not for sale” and has a colored dot sticker. I had no idea there might be some valuables in the basement. Think I is a second press and all the others appear to be first . Great article & even more in the comments! You shouldn’t be prepared to look for first pressings unless you are fond of shouting “— Me!” whilst you suffer a heart attack from fright. Any info? Any help hugely appreciated! The evidence of the potential superiority of audio of the first USA pressings over the first UK pressings is right on the UK red/plum coloured Atlantic labels. I did Simon thanks. I may not have an exceptional copy but at least want a complete copy. I have personally seen pressings with the inscriptions on both sides, sometimes switched sides, sometimes only “So Mote…” on one side and the other blank, sometimes only “Do What…” on one side and the other blank, and sometimes no inscription at all. This is in contrast to the general rule of record collecting that if you buy an early pressing from the country of origin of the artist, you are most likely to be nearer the source tapes, and therefore the sound ought to be better. It’s an international marketplace, so you’ll get better exposure and prices than from a local record store or dealer. ( Log Out /  Sleeves are all in good condition and records play perfectly. Based on weeks of research & solicited opinions from people who know more about audio components than I do, as well as my spending limit, this model met most of my criteria. I don’t know if this fault is common on first pressings. If you are in the US, then other rules may apply. Agree; Ebay. Hi Greg: is it this one? The Lemon Song was the only thing I wasn’t sure of after reading this article & figured that out afterwards but thank you for clarifying. Once upon a time a very long time ago (I think it was 1971) I bought the album with “Stairway to heaven” as the last track on side 1 (it’s Led Zeppelin III isn’t it?). It’s hellishly tricky – until you realise Page uses an alternative tuning (it’s an open-G tuning, the same one that Keith Richards uses to play “Rocks Off” or “Start Me Up” -and pretty much all of his songs) and then you just learn a few basic chord shapes and Bob’s your uncle (or should that be Jimmy’s your uncle?) I can instead enjoy the real Led Zeppelin record. Of course I’ve already ordered the first 3 with bonus discs, (why not add to the stack). Build your dream record collection with our wide selection of albums including vinyl new releases, bestsellers, and retro classics, like The Beatles, Eagles, Elton John, and more.No matter what decade you grew up in, vinyl is a fun and unique way to listen to your favorite music. Led Zep III is a terrific record all round. Here’s how to get it fixed! There are more editions of the US, which sound far better than English editions. I would throw it up on Ebay with an astronomically high reserve price (one so high that you’re sure it won’t be attained), and see what your highest bid gets to. As I believe I mentioned in your previous Zeppelin post, I also have a Mobile Fidelity half-speed mastered copy of Zeppelin II which I played last week for the first time in nearly 30 years. Sound? Is it worth anything today? Is the Australian version of Houses of the Holy with the misprint/ reverse cover really all that rare? I have just played the first LP of the second pressing, since I have just acquired a mint copy and I would say it is just as good, but without the fault. Very interesting post btw. Cheers. Wondering if anyone might be able to help me figure out what my Led Zeppelin II album could be worth. Now I at least know which record I have. I found one for twenty-five quid a little while ago, but it jumped, so I didn’t buy it…. That said, I recommend you grade your record by Goldmine or Record Collector grading standards, and then use Ebay to research values of the same item in the same condition. For many years I have been sitting on a hidden gem that I would like to hear your thoughts on. And I’ll bet most of you still haven’t heard that third voice! But if it had a popular or the same artist, it may be worth a little more to a collector. Label errors happen in the record industry much more than people think, and, with a few exceptions, they’re really of no extra value. I don´t have more info, discox does not have any info on Led Zepp. I actually spent more than I wanted to for the Audio Technica but it came so highly recommended that I decided to splurge (and nothing cheaper appealed to me). Led Zep III also (shock horror) has the inscription in the run off groove of that Scottish master of evil magick Alistair Campbell, sorry, Alastair Crowley. The group consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham.With a heavy, guitar-driven sound, they are cited as one of the progenitors of hard rock and heavy metal, although their style drew from a variety of influences, including blues and folk music. I got my George’s mixed up; Piros mastered Led Zeppelin I, not IV…. The very first pressing of Zeppelin I is not the turquoise printing UK one, it’s the orange printing US one (with the pink and brown Atco-style label). Plus, a printed pricing/buying guide is only accurate at the time it’s printed; 6 months later the values it lists could be vastly different in the real world. – it’s actually pretty easy to play the basics. Regarding Asa’s Aug 29th comments on finding a very knowledgeable & reputable source for pricing or buying: Printed pricing/buying guides were pretty much rendered obsolete with the advent of auction websites like Ebay. For the avoidance of doubt Bob, I think Dazzrecords may be being disingenuous.
