About this record
This original UK pressing of Led Zeppelin's Presence is distinguished by the etched 'ATLANTIC STUDIOS' inscription in the side A runout, marking it as the first UK pressing cut at Atlantic Studios. The embossed gatefold cover with the Swan Song 'Apollo' logo and the thick, rough-textured inner sleeve also set this apart from other versions.
Notably, the catalogue number appears twice: first on the cover and inner sleeve as SSK59402, and second on the labels as SSK 59402.
What drives its value
The market shows a strong collector interest with 1785 wanting this pressing against 8469 who have it, indicating steady demand. The price guide reveals a range from Mint condition at 10 up to VG at 2, highlighting a significant premium for top-condition copies.
This UK original stands apart from similar versions like 28961515 and 29328034, which lack the Atlantic Studios etching or were pressed at different plants, making this pressing more desirable and valuable within Led Zeppelin's discography.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirming this pressing requires checking for the SSK59402 or SSK 59402 catalogue numbers, present on both cover and labels respectively. The runout inscriptions are critical: side A should be etched with 'SSK•59402•A2 ATLANTIC STUDIOS' while side B reads 'SSK•59402•B1'.
The pressing plant is CBS Pressing Plant in Aston Clinton, which can be verified by the style of the etched runouts. The embossed gatefold cover with the 'Led Zeppelin Presence' and Swan Song Apollo logo, plus the thick rough inner sleeve, further verify authenticity.
Grading should consider the condition of the embossing and the inner sleeve texture, alongside the vinyl's surface quality.
