Description

IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so I would like to pass on these records to other people to share the enjoyment that I have had with the collection over the last 50 years.
For auction here is a UK copy of Led Zeppelin's 8th LP (7th studio) 'Presence' issued in 1976 on their Swan Song label SSK 59402.  The original came embossed on both sides which this is. Run-out matrix numbers for this record are SSK.59402.A1 on side 1 and SSK.59402.B1 on side 2 which, I believe, makes it a first pressing.
The embossed gatefold cover is in a very nice condition with no major creases.There are some very slight marks on the back cover including the very slightest of record indentations but these are very minor. As can be seen there are NO stickers, NO tears and NO writing. 
The inner sleeve is in a VG+ condition. There is some unglueing at the top side and a minor split at the top opening.
Looking at the vinyl on both sides there are some very light hairline marks but no deep scratches. The labels are completely clean being free of stickers and writing. There are the odd spindle marks on the textured labels.
Tracks:- Side 1 Achilles Last Stand For Your Life Royal Orleans
Side 2 Nobody's Fault But Mine Candy Store Rock Hots On For Nowhere Tea For One
I have played the vinyl through on both sides. Aside from the occasional dust click the reproduction is Excellent. I'm not sure that you can get better than this to be honest. It'll probably need a good dust clean though first.
Audibly the music comes through very clearly and you should not be disappointed by the reproduction from that point of view. It's a great copy and the chances are that you will not need to upgrade from this. A great Led Zeppelin in my humble opinion and a reluctant seller by me.
For playback I use an Ortofon cartridge on a Technics SL1210MK2 through a Denon DRA 375RD amplifier to Wharfdale 3200 speakers.
I have started this off at £4.99 which is a fair start in my opinion.

Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do add + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.

RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
