THE INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LIVE ALBUM FROM LED ZEPPELIN
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SWAN SONG LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND REMAIN UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE UNWORN. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND EACH HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM HAS NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE VINYL
MAGNIFICENT PRISTINE ULTRA GLOSSY VINYL . MARK FREE AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IS THERE ANY SIGNS OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND ON DISC ONE SOME LIGHT SPORADIC RASH FROM THE BAG. NON SOUNDING I CAN GUARANTEE
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THE LP'S SOUND LIKE RATHER THAN RISK IT ON THE DESCRIPTION. AND WHILST THIS TAKES ME FAR LONGER TO LIST. I AM CERTAIN THE EFFORT IS WORTH IT
BOTH ALBUMS PLAY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. CRISP CLEAN AND VERY CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION.
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO FRYING BACON OR CLICKS EITHER
SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC ON RANDOM OCCASIONS AND A FEW TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISETN TO THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB SET FOR YOURSELF
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FOR THIS LP SET IS AN ABSOLUTE PAIN TO GET IN REAL COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE VERY FIRST ISSUES OF THIS SLEEVE WERE TEXTURED AND THIS ALONG WITH THE DUSTY JET BLACK FINISH USUALLY RESULTED IN A COVER THAT HAD HUGE MASSES OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH, AND ALSO SEVERE RING WEAR. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL JET BLACK, AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS FREE FROM AND CREASES OR CREASE LINES AND INCREDIBLY THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY NEAR THE SPINE WHICH IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF.THERE ARE TWO SLIVERS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH. ONE NEAR THE TOP EDGE, AND A TINY ONE NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE. THIS IS FAR FAR SUPERIOR TO MOST THAT YOU WILL COME ACCROSS
THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE AND IS THE REASON WHY THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL
THE SPINE IS JUST PRISTINE. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT, NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION, EVEN THE VERY END TIPS ARE BLACK. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE IS NO SQUASHING EITHER
THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK ON EACH ONE TO SHOW WHERE THE LP'S WERE REMOVED FROM THE COVER ONCE OR TWICE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST PERFECT. TOTALLY JET BLACK, NO RUBBING AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES
THE TWO JET BLACK INNER SLEEVES ARE ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. THEY ARE TOTALLY FLAT, CLEAN, UNCREASED AND 100% UNSPLIT
I HAVE NO HESITATION AT ALL IN GRADING THIS INCREDIBLE SLEEVE, MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
