Description

Detailed seller ratings:

Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do not bid if you expect something different from the listing.

Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

Feedback: I would appreciate your feedback after the sale and you have received your item and are happy with it. This means I can then leave feedback for you and our transaction is closed.

LED ZEPPELIN

"Led Zeppelin II"

1969

588198

ATLANTIC

FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH - EX AUDIO!

UK 1ST PRESS:

1. Original 'RED/PLUM' Atlantic labels

2. "MADE IN GT BRITAIN" on labels

3. 1st Press "LEMON SONG" labels - quickly changed to "KILLING FLOOR" due to copyright/plagiarism issues

4. Original EJ Day light brown gatefold sleeve

5. Still with original price sticker! Shows 42/6d as the price! Which would be around £25+ in today's money...I would highly recommend leaving this on as it's historical proof of the original cost back in 1969 and pretty much unique to find

VINYL: 

5 8 8 1 9 8    A - 2       1   2   4   2

5 8 8 1 9 8    B - 5       1   1   1   1

Nice thick slab of vinyl! Excellent looking vinyl with a few superficial hairlines/sleeve removal marks here and there, and a couple of light superficial scratches but fortunately they have virtually no effect on the audio, with only light background crackle. There is light background noise in between tracks, slightly audible on the quietest sections, but the loud music easily covers this. EX audio.

SIDE 1

Plays nicely throughout, I still am impressed when the bass kicks in on "Whole Lotta Love". PLays very well throughout with no repetitive clicks or loud pops, just a few light pops near end of "Lemon Song". No jumps or sticks. Great tone and volume. EX audio. 

SIDE 2

Plays just as well, again just a few light clicks, nothing at all serious or intrusive. Light background crackle on quietest sections only. Plays nicely. EX audio again.

Plays right through with no jumps or sticks!

OUTER SLEEVE:

Original unlaminated gatefold sleeve by EJ Day. Typical wear and tear from these fairly fragile sleeves (Never seen one yet without wear to edges or spine). Unique copy though as it still has the original price sticker from 1969! What are the chances of that surviving the last 42 years?! Overall the sleeve has wear to all edges and spine but has a little more historical value due to the original price sticker in my opinion...

LABELS:

Very good, NO graffiti, several spindle traces. 

INNER SLEEVE:

Original poly lined sleeve in good condition.

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
