johnny vicious Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 One of my friends gave me his whole record collection, he was a hooked in with the record companies back in the 70's.. Still in the original plastic sleeve and record jacket, no fingerprints , Record engravings on the vinyl says ST SS 763683 F on one side and ST SS 763684 F on the other, was wondering if anyone knew how much this would be worth to a collector. I think it is one of the two records of Song Remains the Same LP. I have been looking for the second vinyl but no luck yet. I collect 12" dance test pressings and promos but this is something that I have no idea about. I Love Zep, not sure if I want to part with it !!! Any advise from the pro's on here would be appreciated!! I attached a couple pics too Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeTheDuke Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 this is a US test pressing from 1976, of course interesting for collectors only about 50$ I guess (but someone will demand more, of course) for more led zeppelin records to see: www.vjez.com/zeppelin for a visual "history" of presswell promo this is from genesis collector http://www.genesismuseum.com/vinyl/testpress.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it is worth a lot because I grew up listening to these amaizing musicians who made this record. I am sure many people will agree with me that if they owned it they may never want to part with it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reswati Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Oddly enough I bought a South-American test pressing of the same album (side 3 and 4 of the double lp) some time ago for a ahum.....28 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny vicious Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Haha I don't know about trying to get very rich from a test pressing .. I just know that a serious collector will understand the value and pay to have this record. I had a great offer on it, but didnt take it because I didnt want to sell it at the time. I started the biding at the average of the emails that I received on Ebay after I listed it at 100k. Listing it at 100k got people to message me yes they told me I was crazy!!! LOL but they also told me what they think its worth and what they would pay for it. So from the messages I put the starting bid at the average. Thanks for your comments. THERE IS A METHOD TO MY MADNESS!! Insanity is a creative persons reality. It may be shocking at first to others, but people learn to adapt to it over time.
