Description
I'm not a dealer, just selling off some records from my own collection which are surplus to requirements now, as they are either spares, or records I no longer like, or I have since upgraded to better copies...
So - Led Zeppelin IV / Four Symbols, 1971 1st press, orange/mauve UK Polydor-distributed Atlantic 2401012...
The bad news first: The record does have a small scratch causing a jump near the beginning of Black Dog, during the first time the band comes in on the main riff. The record overall does have varying degrees of scratches and hairlines causing some crackling, clicks and pops, though for the most part not too overpowering. The sleeve has also seen better days, the front bottom-right has some staining, there's a price-sticker tear at the top right on the front, and the inner sleeve has splits on all edges and a slight tear mark from a price sticker removal.
Because of all these faults, I have graded it G+ overall.
Now on to the better stuff: Nice clean first-issue labels with the Peter Grant credit on both sides and Kinney Music publishing credits (no mention of Superhype), and still sounds like a powerful listen in spite of the aforementioned problems (might benefit from a deep clean too), inner sleeve is free from writing, and inner gatefold is fine.
Matrix info: Side 1: 2401012 A//3 PECKO DUCK Side 2: 2401012 B//4 PORKY
So to summarise - All in all, not the greatest of copies, but better than a mere collection-filler, and it's an okay option until you find that EX+ / NM copy...
Postage will be Royal Mail 1st Class signed for.
