Description

LED ZEPPELIN - Led Zeppelin II - UK 1969 Atlantic Plum/red LP EX

These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding

Anyway, this listing is for a copy of Led Zep's second album  

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin II
UK Atlantic Plum/red label
1969
Cat Number:  588 198 dead wax matrix A//2 B//2

Mode: Stereo

The Album:
Great classic from Led Zep. I was fortunate enough to be at their first UK outdoor gig, the 1969 Bath Blues Festival - I taped their performance then left the cassette in the back of someone's car about 3 years later. I gather that there are no known live recordings of that gig in the public domain, so if any of you have an old mini with a Maxell tape on the back shelf, the tape might be worth more than your car. Anyway, here's what I have left now, the album.

Condition:
Cover: Unlaminated gatefold sleeve is ok. It has some edge wear as so many of the old copies do, but it is generally strong and intact with no tears, stickers or writing. The spine text is barely legible because of some rubbing.
Labels: Red and plum Atlantic labels are bright and clean. Just a few spindle marks, no stickers or writing, excellent.
Vinyl: Vinyl has the expected faint paper marks, and a few other light marks but nothing nasty and nothing to detract from the great audio.

Overall:
A very nice copy of this album - I'd guess it would professionally grade at (cover/vinyl) VG / EX

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. I just played a lot of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation. .

Postage: Reflecting new Royal Mail charges April 2014: Within UK, weight ranges usually allow up to three LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. For all other destinations costs are weight dependent, but incremental cost from additional LP's will normally cost less than the first. I am happy to hold records for a while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days. Approximate prices for normal postage & packing -

UK £3.59 for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs). 

Europe £5.55 normal airmail, £10.55 signed-for. + £1.45 each additional,

Rest of world £7.85 normal airmail, £12.85 signed-for.  + £2.70 each additional item

These amounts include actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 39p for actual cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener). The greedy snouts in the trough at Ebay now charge sellers 10% of postage costs for which there can be no justification - I refuse to pass this shameful levy on to buyers, so you only pay post and packing.

Apologies, but owing to unreliability of some postal services, I will not ship to Italy, Russian Federation, & other former Soviet countries unless a signed for service is selected and paid for.

Losses: Royal Mail have reduced maximum compensation to £20 unless items are signed-for. Compensation on signed-for shipments is up to £50. Overseas purchasers - if your purchase is well over £20, a signed for service must be selected when paying or shipping will be at your own risk, not mine, and normal airmail will only be covered for up to £20.

Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via Paypal

I have decided to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.
Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my precious vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
