Description
VG+ vinyl play graded, with 2 exceptions. One skip during Whole Lotta Love, just as Plant sings "cooling". 2 moderate pops and 1 loud pop during Heartbreaker, just after Page's solo, as the full band kicks back in. Otherwise, it has moderate surface noise in the quieter parts, with some occasional light pops. This isn't a perfect copy, however, there is no mistaking this is an RL/SS/Monarch, which means it sounds better than anything else out there. The rhythm section sounds incredible, especially Bonham's drums.
I cleaned this once, with a Spin Clean. A more thorough cleaning might improve the sound even more.

Vinyl visual is VG. There is a slight gouge on side 2, which looks to be what causes the 3 pops on Heartbreaker. Plays significantly better than it looks.
The sleeve is VG, with some slight green discoloration at bottom front, as well as the beginning of a slight split (1 inch) at rear top of sleeve.
Inner sleeve is NM. No splits or tearing. One of the best I've seen.
I wasn't able to get the lighting right to show the SS is visible on both sides, but it's definitely there. The RL shows up much better.
This will be packaged very securely, with the record outside the sleeve. I will include a MOFI inner sleeve. Cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap will be used. Only shipping to the continental U.S.
