YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!


From Atlantic Records (SD 7255) this is HOUSES OF THE HOLY  by LED ZEPPELIN, an original (first) US pressing released March 23, 1973.   Gatefold jacket shows modest shelf wear -- remains sturdy and looks great (EX+ or better); the original, textured inner sleeve is present and is beautiful (MINT)!   The LP appears to be NEAR MINT+ to MINT and plays a stone cold MINT with not even a hint of distortion at higher volumes and in the more intense passages!  Absolutely remarkable piece; you won't find a better-sounding example at any price!  Note: This is one of the first off the first mother with RL in matrix both sides.  RL is ROBERT LUDWIG and here is a brief history for those who don't know the man:

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE: We have an $8.00 handling fee which covers a portion of packing materials as well as time spent with Customs paperwork.   We use top-of-the-line packing because your box is traveling a great distance and we want it to arrive intact and undamaged; in addition, Customs paperwork is time consuming.   Please be aware this is one fee per order, that is, if you buy one record it’s $8.00, if you purchase 100 records it’s still just $8.00.   We could use cheaper materials and most sellers do but it’s important to us that you get the record in the same condition as it is when it leaves our hands.  Some say we lose sales because of this fee.   However, if you read our international feedback you find very happy customers -- customers who feel the extra dollars are well spent and come back to buy records from us again!   We appreciate your business and thank you for understanding.
