Description

Incredibly rare UK promotional first pressing of Led Zeppelin II, the second studio album from Led Zeppelin, (Atlantic Records, 588198, Stereo), featuring the custom reversed ‘inner gatefold’ front and back covers, the spine blank, and the back cover and the side one disc label both bearing affixed "Factory Sample, Not for Sale" labels. Matrix and runout numbers to both sides read: “588198 A [triangle] 2 1 2 5” and “588198 B [triangle] 2 1 1 4.” The side two label features the legendary misprint of ‘Livin' Lovin' Wreck,’ which was quickly noticed and almost immediately corrected, with very few examples leaving the factory. The side one label and the album sleeve both list ‘The Lemon Song,’ with later issues of Led Zeppelin II listing the song as ‘Killing Floor.’ In fine condition, with some light creasing and edgewear; the ‘true’ front and back covers are adhered together, which is due to the promo's customization. The record is included.
