Classic Records' 45 RPM Series occupies a singular position in the world of audiophile vinyl. Founded by Michael Hobson in the early 1990s, Classic Records set out to produce the finest-sounding pressings of the great recordings in the history of rock and jazz - using 200-gram vinyl and the quietest, most inert formulation available: Quiex SV-P. The 45 RPM cutting speed requires more sides per album, but maximises groove width and depth, producing pressings widely regarded as among the finest-sounding records ever manufactured.
Applied to the Led Zeppelin catalogue - itself regarded as some of the most sonically demanding and rewarding material in rock — the results were extraordinary. Classic Records' Zeppelin pressings became essential acquisitions for serious audiophile collectors, commanding significant premiums on the secondary market. Complete box sets appear rarely.
This box set presents the complete Led Zeppelin studio catalogue across ten titles - from the debut album through to Coda - housed in a metal road case with the blue plastic protection still in place on both sides. The records themselves are in unused condition.
The protective foam lining inside the case is deteriorating (a known hydrolysis issue affecting Classic Records road cases of this era); the foam sheet has come loose and has been secured with masking tape. Most white inner sleeves are clean, though a few carry slight staining. Houses of the Holy's outer sleeve has minor corner bumps. These are cosmetic issues only - the records have never been played.
