ALBUM INFO:

Led Zeppelin 2 is the second studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin released on 22 October 1969 in the United States and on 31 October 1969 in the United Kingdom by Atlantic Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at several locations in both the United Kingdom and North America from January to August 1969. The album's production was credited to the band's lead guitarist and songwriter Jimmy Page, and it was also Led Zeppelin's first album on which Eddie Kremer served as engineer.

The album exhibited the band's evolving musical style of blues-derived material and their guitar riff-based sound. It has been described as the band's heaviest album. Six of the nine songs were written by the band, while the other three were reinterpretations of Chicago Blues songs by Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf. One single, "Whole Lotta Love", was released outside of the UK (the band would release no UK singles during their career), and peaked as a top-ten single in over a dozen markets around the world.

SLEEVE:   

VERY GOOD.  Look at the photo's..... The wonderfully clean non laminated jacket is still in very good condition, consider it's age, It has some ring wear and spine rubbing but no splits or tears, please look at the photos, I try to give it all, still the back somehow it has survived without picking damage or Biro on the back. A lot of albums have owners names in biro on them, rare in this condition as they were not cheap at the time at £5+ the average wage being £45 at the time. Most copies were played to death. This Sleeve is in amazing condition.

INNER SLEEVE:  

EXCELLENT. Original poly lined black paper type, ... being the very fragile inner sleeve is a great indicator of the amount of usage the album has had.  I would say the inners are amongst the best you could find! and considering how fragile these are.....now 53 years old, quite unbelievable intact condition.  

LABELS:  

RED/PLUM Atlantic labels, pressed in 1969, Clean, light spindle marks, no damage or writing.    

GRADING SYSTEM: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

PAYMENT:

Items must be payed for within five days. If non payment within five days, I will then instigate an Ebay ruling. I will set up a dispute and either offer it to the runner up bidder or relist.
