Description
This listing is for a first pressing of Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy, mastered by Robert Ludwig at Sterling Sound and pressed at Presswell. The vinyl is in VG+ condition, with multiple scuffs, light marks and scratches - nothing deep. I was having difficulty getting the scratches to show in the photos, but if you look closely, a few did show up. Upon listening, there is some surface noise during quiet moments with the occasional tick or pop but nothing that seriously affects playback - the Ludwig "Hot Mix" still shines through. The labels are in decent shape but side 1 has a ring worn around the outer part of the label and side 2 has something similar but to a much lesser degree (see photos). The cover is in VG+ condition as well, with a little wear on the front & some ring wear on the back. The edges and corners are more worn and there is an approximately 3-inch long piece of tape in the center of the outside folded edge that I only just noticed for the first time when listing this (see last photo). I'm guessing it had begun to tear but there is no split. The gatefold has minimal wear overall with a little creasing but nothing major. This was my first Ludwig-mastered copy of HOTH and has been stored in a climate controlled room away from direct light for several years now. It's still got plenty of life in it and shouldn't disappoint.
All my vinyl is stored vertically in a climate-controlled room away from direct light. I ship all my new albums packed between two cardboard fillers in a record mailer. Thanks for looking!
