	£		75
	$		99

1975 DOUBLE LP AND SIXTH ALBUM FROM ZEP, OFTEN CONSIDERED THE HEIGHT OF THEIR CREATIVE POWERS.
EARLY PRESSING WITHOUT THE WARNER LOGO IN BOTTOM RIM TEXT, A1 B5 C1 D1 MATRICES.
HERE WE HAVE A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC ORIGINAL 70's VINYL LP BY LED ZEPPELIN, ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME DESTINED TO BECOME FAR GREATER THAN THE SUM OF THEIR PARTS, FEW IF ANY REPLICATING THEIR INNATE CHEMISTRY AND WELL THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER JOHN BONHAM.
THE CENTRE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND FREE OF ANY VISIBLE SPINDLE MARKS AT ALL REALLY INDICATING THE RECORD WAS HANDLED WITH GREAT CARE WHEN BEING USED.
RECORDS HAVE BEEN DEEP CLEANED ON RCM - SURFACES ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN STRONG GLOSS DEFINITION.
ON INSPECTION THERE ARE SOME MINOR PAPER CONTACT / INSERTION WISPS, AND AN INFREQUENT LIGHT HAIRLINE MARK, THERE ISN'T ANYTHING SERIOUS THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED DAMAGE, NO FEELABLE SCRATCHES THAT BREAK THE SURFACE IN ANY WAY, SMALL NICKS, DAMP SPOTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.  JUST SOME LIGHT GENERAL COSMETIC FATIGUE INDICATING THE RECORD HAS BEEN TAKEN IN AND OUT OF THE SLEEVE AND PLAYED.
BOTH THE RECORDS SIT FLAT AND PLAY THROUGH AS YOU MIGHT HOPE FOR WITH A STRONG BRIGHT SOUND.  LISTENING AT HIGH VOLUME TO SCRUTINIZE THE PLAYBACK THERE IS SOME MINIMAL SURFACE 'VINYL' PRESENCE WHICH MAY FLUCTUATE A LITTLE THROUGHOUT THE ALBUM BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING IS A VERY MINOR CONSIDERATION.  THE OPENING GROOVES AND DEAD WAX ARE QUIET OVERALL AND WITH JUST MINIMAL OR FLEETING BACKGROUND SOUND, THE SAME GOES FOR THE SOFTER PASSAGES OF MUSIC REALLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE OR CRACKLING AWAY OVERPOWERING THE COMPOSITION JUST SOME MINOR SURFACE PRESENCE HERE AND THERE AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT WITH ALMOST ANY VINYL RECORD OF THIS AGE THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED.  BESIDES THAT MAYBE AN OCCASIONAL POP OR SHORT RUN OF LIGHT CLICKS - AGAIN JUST MINOR.  THE FREQUENCIES HOLD WELL WITHOUT CLIPPING OR DISTORTION ON THE HIGH OR MID RANGERS AND THE BASS REMAINS FULL AND FILLS OUT THE SOUND NICELY.
INDEED A NICE LISTENING EXPERIENCE TO RELISH IN THE GENIUS OF THIS BAND BUT NOT ONLY THAT THE WAY THEY USED TO RECORD BACK THEN, MY WORD WHAT A WONDERFUL ERA.  THE NUANCE IN THEIR PLAYING COMING OUT SO WELL AND COMING TOGETHER IN THIS WONDERFUL VINYL EXPERIENCE.
SIMILARLY THE SLEEVE IS IN STRONG CONDITION WITH JUST SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND USE PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES.  MAINLY OF NOTE THE INSERT HAS SOME FOXING AND A LITTLE DISCOLOUR BUT REALLY NOTHING TOO SERIOUS.
OVERALL THIS RECORD IS NOT QUITE PERFECT BUT WHERE WILL YOU FIND SUCH A COPY OF THIS?  ESPECIALLY FOR UNDER A MID RANGE TRIPLE FIGURE SUM, PERHAPS THERE ARE SOME GENUINELY UNPLAYED COPIES STILL AROUND LOCKED AWAY IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED COLLECTOR ROOM SOMEWHERE!
SO JUST SOME LIGHT COSMETIC AND AUDIBLE SIGNS OF PREVIOUS USE ON THIS ONE - CAREFULLY TESTED AND PRO CLEANED AND PRICED ONLY A LITTLE OVER THE MARKET AVERAGE FOR COPIES WITH NOWHERE NEAR AS MUCH CARE HAVING GONE INTO THEIR USE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL WITH THE APPRAISAL OF THIS WONDERFUL VINYL GEM!
VERY GOOD++ OR A BIT BETTER!
NO PARTIAL REFUNDS BASED ON BUYER EVALUATION.  I'M HAPPY TO ACCEPT A RETURN.  

CONDITION & GRADING
I use the standard 'Record Collector' grading system conservatively!
Usually with an additional note included in the item description.
The records are carefully inspected under strong light and played tested in part.
I use a RCM where needed to remove any lint, dust or fingerprints.
I really try my hardest to avoid some of the common and unnecessary oversights that can occur in grading used vinyl and deliver items that look and sound great!
