pamfletty Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hello everyone, I have bid on a Stairway To Heaven 45 rpm single. The seller says the catalog # is Atlantic 45-3217-1. I can't find any info on this particular version anywhere. Is this real? Here's a rather blurry picture of the single: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb! Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 There is a pirate with 'Hey Hey' on the b-side but with a misspelled 'Haven'. Does the seller say it was a USA pressing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 He did not mention it. I asked for pictures of the A & B-side and this is what I got: If I pay $29,5 it's mine, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It must be fake, because there was Major Harris single with this number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb! Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 $30 is reasonable to take a risk it may be a pirate. I suspect it may be a South African edition, but would need to read the fine print to be certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 South Africa had it's own numbers with ATS and ATL prefexis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yeah, I took the risk and bought it! When I get it I will post more detailed pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 So i got the single in the mail today! The matrix numbers are: Side A: 3217-1 Side B: 3217-2 Here's some pictures. What do you think, real or pirate (probably the latter I guess)? I must add that it sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb! Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would guess pirate, because I think Atlantic knows enough not to put a 1969 copyright date on the Stairway side.Even so, it is very interesting and you would be able to resell it for the price you paid.

Oleg Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 1. The brackets on credits of side 1 are not closed, no pressing plant information - it's a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZISH Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The only official 'Stairway to Heaven single was the Australian EP. Pb! is correct in regard of the 'Misspelt Pirate', also the dates are wrong for Stairway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The only official 'Stairway to Heaven single was the Australian EP. You are not right. As to commercial editions, there were Phillipines 45-3747. I have two label variation of this. There were at least 3 Thailand singles (but they really can be pirates) And there were 2 USA promos and Japan one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
