ARTIST: LED ZEPPELIN

TITLE:  PHYSICAL GRAFFITI

YEAR: 19750

CAT NO: SSK 89400

LABEL & COLOUR: SWAN SONG/ANGEL PICTURE

COUNTRY: UK

MATRIX Nos: 1st PRESSING (A1/B5/C1/D1)  

All of my records That I'm selling are from my own Personal Collection that I have collected and cherished for over 45 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard. All Records that I do offer will have NO Warps,Jumps,sticks,writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated in descriptions.

Vinyl Condition: EX+ Visually all 4 vinyl sides are in virtually an Unmarked Condition - These 1st Press Vinyls at least have not been played to death and destruction like most - The 2 LPs look like they have hardly ever been played on a turntable and if so it has been done very carefully as there is no real evidence of any obvious wear signs and have been played only a very few times over the early years and then stored away in a cupboard until now - shows generally nothing but only minimal light use for its 36 years life span - With NO needle mark scratches or any other bad marks that I can visually see or detect that will affect the Audio Playback - When examined on closer examination under a strong angled light it reveals nothing more than just 1 mild light hairline across 3 ot the surfaces sides and 1 side nothing and a few usual insignificant disc inner sleeve removal faint wispy light lines here and there that absolutely doesn’t affect the virtually near perfect audio playback (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall excellent condition of all 4 sides) - The vinyls still retains all its original jet black shiny gloss mirror like sheen and lustre - It would be very hard these days to find a better vinyl copies of this 1st Stereo Pressing Records that play throughout without any distortion problems!  It’s a Superb Example!!! 

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 42 years it would obviously benefit from a professional clean  before play as to reduce further any light static crackle that may be still present

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as EX to Near Mint  - This vinyl visually looks like its hardly been played that much and shows NO heavy marks or scratches and still looks an Amazing example - There are No major Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and inbetween tracks and the very quieter elements of audio playback or if at all  you may get some very light static crackle for a second or two and then it just fades away but absolutely nothing of any consequence on this 36 year old Classic  that will spoil your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Iconic Classic Album - Overall  its just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynamic 1st Press Stereo Audio performance!!! 

Labels Condition: NM  Original 1st Press 'Falling Angel' Swan song Picture Labels that are still all in Pristine and Perfect condition with original bright bold colours - visually looks in an unmarked condition with no obvious evidence of any obvious wear around the spindle hole that can be seen - Even under a bright angled light it shows No spindle traces around the spindle hole it's certainly evident that it was very well cared for and hardly ever been played over its 36 year life  

Cover Condition: EX  Original UK 'Gothic Print finishers London' Die-Cut Box shape Picture sleeve cover - Very Clean totally intact and virtually Unmarked cover is still in overall  Exceptional and Superb condition and is a Brilliant example of a well preserved looked after cover with very little storage wear to be seen - That still has its original bold vivid colours and great square box shape with all the window cut-outs amazingly still very Perfect like New! totally undamaged the rest of sleeve front and back is in excellent condition with very little handling evidence to be seen on closer inspection it only shows some mild edge and corners rub wear obtained during storage process over the years - This cover is one of the better ones that I have seen over the years that's not in a grubby worn falling apart state - It would be quiet difficult to to find and improve on this 1st Press cover!!! 

Spine Condition: EX The Spine is still in great condition clean and straight with very little wear visible - Just a little light storage rub wear in places along and each end of spine (not that noticeable) - majority of written RED text still showing to be bold clear legible apart from some slight rub wear across letters PH of PHYSICAL (see photo scan)  

Inner Sleeves: NM The 2 Original thick card Picture inner sleeves are in Immaculate condition Totally clean intact and virtually Perfect shows No evidence of any handling or ageing discolour - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writing,Stickers or other Blemishes 

Track List Insert: EX The White card Insert is totally intact and in Exceptional condition with very little evidence of any Handling wear to be seen only shows a little mild light yellow ageing tinges mainly along white edgeing that have appeared over 36 years

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!
