zoso_jobes Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I have never seen this variation before in all my years of collecting. Checked a few books and found nothing. I did a quick search on Discogs as well and unless I missed it, I don't see anything on there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I really appreciate that we are still finding new things on a regular basis. Hopefully Steve, Or Strider or someone else on this forum can identify it.

It looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiel Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Unlikely to have been made for overseas. There were no UK pressings made for overseas that I've ever been aware of and even if this was made for overseas they would've have printed more of them so there would be other examples out there. Zeppelin was too big of a band for there not to be. I highly doubt, Zeppelin would've approved an alteration to the PG cover to be made in the UK for export anyway. Usually the cover alterations you find in other countries were done by the local label offices. Do you have photos of the label you can post? Sometimes made for export lps have some kind of indication that this is what they are. If it is a pro print job, it likely would've had to have been done at the time of the original printing (assuming it is a UK OG then 75) rather than someone buying a UK copy and making the alterations. I don't think it would be easy to do this once it was printing as per normal, cut and assembled. Someone with pro print shop experience would know better though.

Strider Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I have never seen a yellow windowed "Physical Graffiti". I asked my record shop buddies and no one had any knowledge of one. It's a shame it looks pretty damaged in the lower left quadrant. Without being able to inspect it in person, these are some thoughts I had... 1. Might it have been intended for a special coloured vinyl edition? 2. Is it possible the colours were added after the fact by a previous owner...either by marker or hand painted?

The Joaneline Music, Inc credit is on the UK first pressings and some early reissues (with warner logo) so not really much of a clue. Nothing on that label indicates anything other than a regular UK first press. It's a B5 pressing so some, who are more pedantic, might argue it's not a true first UK press because some believe the B4 was the true first press, but that's being pedantic.

Administrators sam_webmaster Posted March 10, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2023 It looks hand colored with a marker, probably done by a fan. You can easily see that on the "4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
