Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV LP (UK original, inner, symbols, RARE!, EX-)

This is an LP by Led Zeppelin called Led Zeppelin IV, released in the UK by Atlantic Records in 1971.   This record is first pressing red/plum labels with the four symbols on the label.   This record also has the super rare crossed out/corrected matrix on side one with A3 - 1 / B3 - 1 matrix endings.  Pecko Duck and Porky also scratched into the run out groove.  

VINYL:  EX-       The record is very nice and shiny with several faint paper marks and one or two light surface marks which could cause some noise, clicks and crackles. 

LABELS: EX-      There are a few spindle marks, a set of initials written in the white bar above "Atlantic" in pen and a small spot of surface wear just below the white bar on side one.   There are no other marks, stains, stickers or writing.  

INNER:  VG+      The inner is quite good with some light corner/edge wear, two small tears in the open edge and clear tape on three edges (can be seen in photo).  I'd say the tape covers approx. 1/3 of each edge.   Otherwise, there is very faint bending marks (no creases) and virtually no surface wear and no staining.  

SLEEVE:  VG+    The outer gatefold sleeve is quite good as well with some light corner wear, significant edge wear, heavy wear on the spine but with no splits.  There is a small 1inch split in the bottom edge, back gatefold running from the open edge.  The open edges have some slight softening as well.   Otherwise, there is virtually no surface wear, no fading, sticker marks, stains or writing.  There is only very slight yellowing around the edges from handling. 

Please be assured I do my best to describe any noticeable flaws in addition to VERY CONSERVATIVE grading.  Please ask questions before bidding and I'm happy to provide extra photos upon request.

If you are planning to bid, please take a moment to read the details below and be an informed buyer.  Above anything else, please email me if you have any questions. 

SELLER RATINGS:   Please realize dispatch time is NOT the same as delivery time.  I cannot control the post office.  You are meant to rate MY dispatch time... meaning the time from your payment to my posting.  Due to some buyers not understanding this, I am likely going to lose my Top Seller status which means my items will be harder for you to find and might cost you more to buy.   

POSTAGE COSTS/TIME:   Ebay is not my primary employment and therefore I cannot get to the post office every day.  I will post within 5 business days of cleared payment.  Please make sure you are happy to wait at least 6 days (UK) for your item before bidding.   I do not post on weekends or holidays.

Email for combined postage rates.  I use heavy mailers with stiffeners and plastic sleeves which are included in the postage.  All items will have Proof of Postage.  Anything over £30 will be sent recorded delivery which is £0.95 extra within the UK and £5.15 in addition to normal postage charges for the rest of the world.  Special Delivery is available upon request.   This will cost more so please ask for estimated postage charges before you buy.     With apologies to our buyers, we have had to increase postage costs in response to a massive increase in postage by Royal Mail.  We still only charge what it costs us + a few pence for the cost of packing materials.  

SOUTH AMERICAN BUYERS: ALL items are shipped via International Signed For postage.  No exceptions.  Please wait for your invoice before paying.  

AMERICAN BUYERS:  Stuff is taking up to 4 weeks to get to you. Please keep that in mind.

RETURNS:  Quite simple:  For any reason you aren't happy, send it back to me.  If I messed up - full refund including return postage.   If I didn't mess up - refund of purchase less postage.  Email me with anything,  I'm flexible so just give me a chance to work things out.   

ITEM CONDITION:  All items are used unless otherwise stated.  I do my best to describe everything as accurately as possible but I'm human and do get it wrong sometimes.  I will happily accept returns with full refund + postage when the item is received in the condition it was sent.  I am using the Record Collector grading guide and only visually grade.  Any records I'm not sure about, I will listen to and note in the description. 

After reading all this, if I make a mistake, I would appreciate not receiving bad ratings for item description as I am an honest, independent seller and am trying my best.  Please contact me with questions before bidding and I will provide extra photos of sleeve, spine and record condition upon request. 

Please feel free to email if you have any questions or concerns as I will happily do what I can to resolve. 

Thanks and good luck.
