Notes:
"Presence" is the seventh studio album by Led Zeppelin, released by Swan Song Records on 31 March 1976. The cover, inside sleeve and back of the album feature various images of people with a black obelisk-shaped object. Inside the album sleeve the item is referred to simply as "The Object" aka "The Obelisk". It was intended to represent the "force and presence" of Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page explained: "There was no working title for the album. The record-jacket designer said 'When I think of the group, I always think of power and force. There's a definite presence there.' That was it. He wanted to call it 'Obelisk'. To me, it was more important what was behind the obelisk. The cover is very tongue-in-cheek, to be quite honest. Sort of a joke on [the film] 2001 A Space Odyessy. I think it's quite amusing."

Jimmy Page made the decision to record the album after Robert Plant sustained serious injuries from a car accident on the Greek island of Rhodes on 5 August 1975, which forced the band to cancel a proposed world tour that was due to commence on 23 August.
At this point, Led Zeppelin were arguably at the height of their popularity. When he was taken to a Greek hospital after the accident, Plant recalled:

"I was lying there in some pain trying to get cockroaches off the bed and the guy next to me, this drunken soldier, started singing "The Ocean" from Houses of the Holy."

The background used in the cover photograph is of an artificial marina that was installed inside London's Earl's Court Arena for the annual Earl's Court Boat Show that was held in the winter of 1974–75. This was the same venue where the band played a series of concerts a few months after the boat show, in May 1975.

In 1977 Hipgnosis and George Hardie were nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of best album package.

LP'S ARE VISUALLY GRADED UNLESS STATED / PLEASE TAKE NOTE .
We Never List Anything As Mint Unless It Is New : EX = Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. EX - = Disc plays near perfectly, minimal impact on the sound quality but may have minor paper scuffs . There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that affects playback. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. VG + = Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.
VG = Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole. VG -  = Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause surface noise + There might be skips.   
GOOD = Well played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties).The record will still play through without any jumps. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged. [ -  or + added for better detailed description.]
ABOUT our GRADING :We grade conservatively and strictly according to Goldmine guidelines and take pride in not overstating the condition of an item. if in any doubts please refer to our feedback. Regarding surface noise on vinyl,VG means there may be audible noise in quiet passages only (and occasionally in normal passages but not enough to distract from the music). VG+ means infrequent noise in quiet passages, none in normal passages. An EX sounds (and looks) like new.
we visually grade each item and if we listened to it we will state "play-graded"making clear that it was played in the comments. **************** Questions :  Things You Might Want To Ask :
