Yesterday I couldn´t believe my luck...I bought these fantastic and EXTREMELY rare jewels for 17€ each...MINT. Nope, not MINT- or NeearMint...absolutely looking like unplayed...
unbelievable...I guess the shop owner didn´t think the plum label odd...hehehehe
From discogs:
Led Zep - S/T
"Rare German first press and limited edition vinyl LP released 1969 on red/plum ATLANTIC RECORDS stereo label with catalognumber SD-8216.
Only the very first few German pressings were released on this red/plum label before changing to green/orange label.
Laminated cover."
Led Zep - III
"This is an early limited pressing of this US/Import Record on U.S. vinyl.
It is extremely limited as it was pressed (manufactured) in the U.S.
for release in Germany (and Europe) along with a very few other titles on Atlantic Records at the time. Again this was a special run made exclusively for export to Germany (and Europe).
The label has the Atlantic 1841 Broadway address on bottom, as an American pressing would, but notice the different catalog number, it uses the German catalogue number and has a small "GEMA-P.1970" near the top!"
