LED ZEPPELIN III (3), ORIGINAL 1970 UK RED/PLUM ATLANTIC LP, PETER GRANT CREDIT
Led Zeppelin IIILed Zeppelin were the definitive rock band! They were formed out of the ashes of The Yardbirds in September 1968 and consisted of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham. Page’s first choice for lead singer, Terry Reid, declined the offer, but suggested Robert Plant, a Birmingham singer he knew. Plant eventually accepted the position, recommending a drummer, John Bonham from nearby Redditch. John Paul Jones, at the suggestion of his wife, contacted Page about the vacant position. Being familiar with Jones’ credentials, Page agreed to bring in Jones as the final piece. The band did not release the popular songs from their albums as singles in the UK, as they preferred to develop the concept of album-oriented rock. Led Zeppelin III was released on October 5, 1970. Sales lagged behind that of Led Zeppelin I and II, but with the passage of time III’s reputation has recovered considerably.
Not the greatest copy of this record you will come across but it is the original with the red and plum labels and the Peter Grant credit. It’s definitely far too good to throw out and although it plays with some clicks here and there, it’s still a great listen!!!
Side One: Immigrant Song; Friends; Celebration Day; Since I’ve Been Loving You; Out On The Tiles.
Side Two: Gallows Pole; Tangerine; That's The Way; Bron-Y-Aur Stomp; Hats Off To (Roy) Harper.
The album is on Atlantic Records, 2401002. Matrix side one: Do what thou wilt 2401002 A-7 (written). Matrix side two: So mote it be 2401002 B-5 (written).
Released in 1970. UK pressing. Stereo.
See photos for more info.
Condition: (as Record Collector’s grading system)
Vinyl side 1: good (has quite a few noticeable scratches and scrapes and plays with a few clicks here and there but nothing that really spoils your enjoyment of the music, it still a grat listen, plays with no jumps or sticks).
Vinyl side 2: good (has quite a few noticeable scratches and scrapes and plays with a few clicks here and there but nothing that really spoils your enjoyment of the music, it still a grat listen, plays with no jumps or sticks).
Cover (fully laminated gatefold sleeve with working wheel): excellent (light discolouring/aging mainly around the edges, a few small creases mainly arount the edges).
I have tried to give my honest opinion as to the condition. I will give a complete refund to the buyer if they are not happy on return of the record.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no 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.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. Payment strictly by PayPal only. Postal discounts available for multiple purchases - Please email for details. 526 (GS 6.6.6 (526))
