There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold, 

and she's buying a stairway to heaven................

     THIS IS THE VERY RARE KINNEY STICKERED SLEEVE EXAMPLE OF A PLUM/RED PRESSING..

THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 1971 AND EARLY IN 1972 ATLANTIC SWITCHED DISTRIBUTION FROM POLYDOR TO KINNEY/WARNERS AND THE LABELS CHANGED AGAIN FROM PLUM RED TO GREEN ORANGE

AT THIS TIME KINNEY STARTED PUTTING STICKERS ON THE SLEEVES TO DONATE THE NEW KINNEY " K " CATALOGUE NUMBERS BUT A NUMBER OF THE EARLIER RED/PLUM LABELLED PRESSINGS WERE PLACED IN THESE STICKERED SLEEVES AND ARE HIGHLY PRIZED! 

 REGARDLESS OF VARIAITION ALL PLUM/RED ATLANTIC VERSIONS OF THIS LP ARE THE MOST SORT AFTER OF ALL THE ZEP LP'S AS THEY WERE AVAILABLE IN THE PLUM RED COLOUR FOR THE SHORTEST PERIOD OF TIME, ADDED TO THAT HERE YOU HAVE THE RARE STICKERED SLEEVE TOO!!

FOR AUCTION IS THE UK LP LED ZEPPLIN IV ALSO KNOW AS "SYMBOLS"

COUNTRY: UK

CAT NO: 2401012

LABEL: ATLANTIC RED PLUM

DATE : 1971

WEIGHT: 125g

MATRIX: A3 B4

CONDITION......

SLEEVE: VERY SMART EXAMPLE FOR AN UNLAMITED GATEFOLD SLEEVE, ONLY VERY MINOR EDGE AND SPINE WARE, WOULD GRADE EXCELLENT IF NOT FOR A NAME AND DATE WRITTEN NEATLY ON THE COVER, HOWEVER THIS IS KIND OF OFFSET BY THE PRESENCE OF THAT RARE KINNEY STICKER.

VINYL VISUAL : GRADES VG, ANY MAKES SEEM TO BE SURFACE, NO DEEP SCRATCHES THAT I CAN DETECT 

LABELS: MINOR SPINDLE TRACES  GRADES EXCELLENT

INNER: I HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE ONE OF THESE FLIMSY FLIPBACK INNERS THAT HASN'T SPLIT OR HAS TARES AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION, HOWEVER AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE NO TAPE REPAIRS AND IT REMAINS FAIRLY SMART BUT THERE IS THAT NAME AND DATE WHICH GIVE THIS AN INTERESTING PROVENENCE SHOWING THAT RED PLUM LABELS WERE STILL TO BE FOUND IN THE SHOPS AS LATE AS OCT 1972 !

A VERY SORT AFTER ZEP RARITY - GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!!

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….EUROPE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL COSTS ARE USUALLY GBP 8.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND FOR USA/REST OF WORLD IT IS USUALLY GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE AND GBP 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP
