Description
Very rare copy of Led Zeppelin IV in lilac (it looks kinda pink) vinyl. This LP was released in 1978 on the Atlantic label cat. no. K50008. The LP is in EX+ / NM condition as is the gatefold sleeve which bears the original 'limited edition' sticker. The spine is unworn and solid, not crushed with the tiniest areas of feint wear at the top and bottom, hardly noticeable at all and for it's age, it is in immaculate condition. Many a brand new album has dented corners and more wear than this. The inner sleeve is also EX, although it has a cutting error (see photo) where the original cut out of the sleeve missed slightly which can be seen at the top opening of the inner sleeve. As coloured vinyl tends to be quite noisy compared to black vinyl (I have professionally cleaned and play-graded this. It plays superbly. I have put the record in a top quality anti-static inner to keep the LP pristine.
As stated above, this LP is play-graded on a top quality system and plays beautifully. It has always been a spare collectors item for me so has only ever been played a handful of times on top flight equipment.
I have tried to photograph the LP as faithfully as possible. I have not used Photoshop or any other type of photo enhancement.
This album, as with all my records, is carefully cleaned and vacuum dried on a Loricraft record cleaning machine using L'Art du Son record cleaning fluid. It is then placed in a new poly-lined anti-static inner sleeve and play-tested on a state-of-the-art record playing system. It may play significantly better than I have graded it on a lower resolution system.
To protect the LP in transit it will be packed in a new cruciform LP mailer with stiffening card inserts. The LP and inner sleeve will be packed outside of the cover to protect against seam splits during transit. Unless requested otherwise I will send all records by 2nd class recorded delivery which has limited insurance.
Please see my other auctions, I will be listing several rare and interesting LPs over the next few weeks.
