LED ZEPPELIN 2 II 'KILLING FLOOR' RED/PLUM! PLAYGRADED!

Description

LED ZEPPELIN

"LED ZEPPELIN II"

VERY RARE - 'KILLING FLOOR' CREDIT VERSION DUE TO LEGAL PLAGIARISM PROBLEMS OVER 'THE LEMON SONG'

PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)

OUTER SLEEVE:

Impossible to find without severe edge wear and ringwear, notoriously fragile and prone to wearing away through to the white of the cardboard on all edges. I've never seen a mint original one. This has had some 'restoration' to the edges and spine - touched in. It actually looks pretty reasonable and whilst not obviously mint, makes for a nice cover. A sticker tear on the front cover has also had a little artistic improvement!

Typical condition for its age, edge and spine wear are impossible to avoid on these 1st press sleeves, I've not seen one without some. Pretty good condition and no graffiti.

SPINE

Reasonably square and still nice legible title and catalogue number. Significantly better than most!

TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES

Obvious wear through on all edges but the 'restoration work' has made a reasonable job of disguising that until viewed very closely.

OPENING EDGES

Moderate feathering and thumbing to the opening edges, but still reasonable!

VINYL:

5 8 8 1 9 8 A // 6 4 2 0 1 1 6

5 8 8 1 9 8 B // 4 1 4

LOVELY LOOKING VINYL! I'VE NOT SEEN A BETTER ONE!

Looks and plays very nicely indeed! Plays through with no jumps or sticks throughout. Audio tone is stunning with amazing clarity on all frequencies. Absolutely no distortion from groove wear. No obvious visual marks at all. Under very harsh halogen light there are several faint hairlines visible. There is some light background crackle audible on intros and run ins, just audible on the quieter sections but not prominent and intrusive to the song playback. Even the quieter tracks do not suffer too badly at all. Definitely one of the better playing copies around!

Way better than the 70's reissues!

LABELS:

The classic red/plum labels are in excellent condition, no graffiti. A few light spindle traces.

INNER SLEEVE:

Just a plain white one.

POSTAGE AND PACKING:

I recycle as much existing material as possible and reuse record mailers if they are of good enough quality. Edges and corners are reinforced with packing tape. Stiffeners are used to strengthen and support the record.

Vinyl is removed from the outer gatefold to prevent any 'knifing' to the outer sleeve.

I ship in the UK using Royal Mail 1st Class. A certificate of postage is obtained for every item. Signed for delivery is available on request at extra cost. Please ask.

Feedback is left for buyers once they have contacted me and left feedback stating they are happy with their purchase. Should there be any issues, please contact me first.

I ship worldwide. Item will be shipped in board-backed envelope for maximum protection.
