TITLE
Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti early press VG+/VG+ A4/B4/C2/D1.
Description
Fantastic 1975(?) early press with strong cover, amazing inner sleeves and lovely glossy vinyl.
For a record close to 50 year old this is in very good overall shape and would be acceptable in any rock collection. One that’s difficult to let go.
Cover / Spine / Inners
The amazing die-cut cover is in great shape and has no splits, tears, biro, residues, etc. It’s a credit to its owner.
Being super picky it does appear to have faded just a little to the left hand side of the front cover and it is creased here and there when held to the light.
The 2x inner sleeves are both absolutely superb with bright colours and just one or two tiny marks visible when held to the light at certain angles. The gatefold card track-listing is again in amazingly good condition with no creasing, but given its colour and purpose it is a little grubbier and showing signs of wear.
The spine is pretty good too with text reasonably legible given that it’s white text on a patterned ivory/grey background.

Vinyl
The vinyl has been cleaned and, first glance, looks immaculate. On closer inspection there are marks and hairlines. There was a little surface noise noted in quiet sections on a quick test, but nothing that would spoil the enjoyment of playing this original vinyl item as it was intended.
Label / Spindle marks
The swan song labels look amazing - very striking. After checking for some time I can’t detect spindle marks so it’s obviously had a very easy life.

Postage at cost
The price for postage is essentially at cost - ie: it includes tracked delivery, a new cardboard mailer, new acid-free paper sleeve(s) and a mark-up equivalent to the fees applied to postage.
The record will be carefully packaged and sent in a new LP mailer to the UK MAINLAND ONLY. I’ll happily pass on all postage savings net of fees for multiple purchases.

General Statement (exceptions will be clearly noted).
This record is from the collection of a great music fan. Many items were bought new and have been played and enjoyed over 40 or 50 years or so, though carefully selected second-hand items with less provenance have been added over the years.
The collector is fastidious and the sleeves have been kept in pvc covers. The vinyl has been cleaned each time it was played and the quality styluses regularly changed.
He principally curated a collection of 60s / 70s / 80s LPs and 45s across the genres of rock, psychedelia and folk, but his love of music has taken them into other areas - please see my other items for sale.
I have spent time researching the items that I am selling and have done my very best to identify the correct version, but please do message me if you feel there is an error in the listing.
Items are photographed carefully before listing to uniquely identify the vinyl with the sleeve.
The record has been test-played and in our opinion it is more than acceptable for enjoyable listening. There may be the odd pop or scratch in quieter tracks or between tracks.
I have not allowed returns as the item is described and photographed in detail. These are second-hand items and will come with some age-related faults, as do all items other thanNM/NM. If there are any problems whatsoever please message me to find a mutually-beneficial solution to maintain100% positive feedback on both sides.
