Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals); Jimmy Page (electric, acoustic, slide, & pedal steel guitar, banjo, mandolin, background vocals); John Paul Jones (bass, organ, background vocals); John Bonham (drums, percussion). LED ZEPPELIN III was something of a transitional recording for the band, marking an evolution from their early blues-based origins to the elaborately structured rock suites which would follow. Page's love for country and cajun music, delta blues and traditional folk elements distinguishes "Gallows Pole" and underrated songs like "Tangerine," "That's The Way" and "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" where Robert Plant's vocals begin to take on a heretofore unheard-of tenderness, while the rhythm work of Jones and Bonham reflects many non-rock elements, and Page makes telling use of acoustic string instruments like mandolin, banjo and 12-string guitar (anticipating 1971's triumphant "Stairway To Heaven"). Elsewhere, songs like "Friends" take on a darker, more experimental mood, in the manner of the late Beatles, even as the mysterious "Immigrant Song" finds the band mixing hard rock, dervish rhythms and James Brown in equal measure. And for fans of their first two recordings, there's "Since I've Been Loving You," a low, slow Chicago blues (in the manner of Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green) showcasing the good groove of Jones and Bonham, and Page's masterful lead work.

I usually start auctions at a low price to generate interest in bidding

All items are graded Audio / Visually , and played on a high grade system

Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I understand the requirements in the gradings of discs and sleeves , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised

I grade items ( using the UK Record Collector Grading System) beneath a light , to be sure of condition

I do not believe it is necessary to use the eBay buzzwords such as STUNNING !! RARE !! AWESOME !! , padded out with grossly long winded 'descriptions' ..... Many of the 'experts' who use this method of selling also add technical information , which is totally unfounded and does not correspond with the actual facts , and would be laughable but for the fact it is totally misleading. I take time and care to graded items correctly , and only list quality records , with concise , accurate grading descriptions

I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest !) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists 'live' ( I saw The Beatles twice and Segovia !)

I began selling professionally in 1976 , and have a wide knowledge of the items I sell (and always learning !) having bought copies of my own at time of issue , always being interested in the sleeve , label and disc variations. If you have any queries , I will do my best to answer correctly

Please check my feedback ratings , you will see that a large amount are from repeat buyers ( many thanks !) .... and in the event of genuine complaints will remedy the situation as soon as possible
