This is an extremely rare item. I've been collecting Led Zeppelin for over 40 years and I've only ever physically seen two copies of this. There wasn't a lot of record collecting going on in India in the early 70s so most records were just played until they were broken or destroyed by heat and humidity. Not many survived in any form.
Condition - Sleeve is a completely unique design - not used in any other territory. It looks very amateur but remember this is a full official release! Sleeve is in the original plastic wrap that it would have been sold in originally. Humidity has taken its toll and bits have flaked off the bottom of the sleeve. There is a split to bottom seam. The back sleeve is in effect a paper insert that has similar issues
Vinyl is graded as Fair - I haven't played this but there are numerous scratches so expectation should be low. This was an album that was obviously much enjoyed back in the day. The Plum labels are lovely and highly attractive design. Odd that so much effort was clearly spent on the labels but seemingly not so on the sleeve.
These type of records are really sold as collectors items for their rarity rather than for audio quality. You wont be buying this record to play it. It's a trophy for the collection
