LED ZEPPELIN     Led Zeppelin I    (UK) Atlantic 588 171

      This is an original UK Atlantic pressing of Led Zeppelin's self-titled debut. Heavy blues psych-rock from the hammer of the gods. More stolen U.S. blues hooks than a tackle box. But then again, who doesn't steal? Essential UK pressing.  

Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has 588171 A\\1 1 3 4 1 stamped into the dead wax. Side 2 has 588171 B\\1 1 3 3 2 stamped in the dead wax. Both of the second stamped 8's have been crossed out and an etched 8 placed above. Original and fairly early UK Atlantic press (probably 2nd run).  

Vinyl Visual Grade:  NM with maybe a couple of ultra-light wispy marks and AMAZING gloss. Doubt if this has been played more than 2 or 3 times. Labels are immaculate save for one small white mark Side 2. According to Discogs, this would be Version 6 of the label.

Vinyl Play Grade: NM with AS NEW fidelity and very little noise, most noticeable on JPJ's organ intro to "Your Time Is Gonna Come", but then again, most copies play like this. An excellent listening copy, probably as good as you will find of this pressing. With a good cleaning, should play flawlessly.   

Cover Visual Grade: VG or better with one 4-inch corner crease that really does not show all that badly on this delicate, fully laminated single sleeve MacNeill cover. 3 or 4 horizontal lines where it looks as if something sticky took off some of the laminate and printing (see pictures). End-pinched spine and seams are all great. All in all nice cover. SORRY FOR ALL OF THE SHADOWS!

Comes with original UK poly-lined printed inner which I have lined with an Audiophile style rice-plastic inner.  

Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.

ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.

ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:

M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.

NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.

VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.

VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.

G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.

I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.

ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.

I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS. 

SHIPPING FEES:

I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
