The rarest Led Zeppelin ticket...

The band make their official debut as "Led Zeppelin". The show was hyped as "The First Big Dance of the Term" and some early printed material listed them as "The New Yardbirds". It was commonly (incorrectly) listed as taking place in Guildford, however this show occurred at the University of Surrey, Great Hall, Battersea Park Rd, London. 

An office memo from Jimmy Page's personal collection also confirmed this information: "Friday 25th October 1968. Surrey University, Battersea Park Road, London, S.W.11. Arrive by 8pm. 1x50 minute spot.  £175 fee cheque on the night of the engagement."
