THIS IS THE MATRIX    ST-A-601672 XX@TGP (TRIANGLE)  23031-X-(1) 4F (PR) (THE "PR" IS UPSIDE DOWN)  The GTP is George Piros.  MO (MONARCH PRESS) on the label,  I can't find this matrix anywhere but the sound is fantastic! That's why it was my personal copy..  The record is NM or EX at the worst. The Gate fold cover (VG+) has a hint of ring and edge wear. Very readable spine. Corners are sharp with tiny fray. 

Did I mention that this was pressed by "GEORGE PIROS"

PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILED CONDITION INFORMATION

Up for sale is this beautiful copy of Led Zeppelin II. As most will know, this record is often found in less than desirable condition and understandably so, this was a party record and no one was thinking about maintaining its condition so it could one day end up on eBay. So we’re left with trying to find the veritable needle in a haystack - one that was taken care of and played a minimum of times on proper equipment. Well, this is one of those rare copies. As a collector myself, I have had multiple copies - I can’t even remember how many - I’ve lost count. In an effort to upgrade, I have spent many hours searching, buying, selling and trading copies with other collectors.  this plays as clean as any copy I have heard. There were no pops, clicks or anything else of the sort. And best of all, there is no groove wear distortion from play on bad equipment. Fantastic, killer playback. You will want to crank this one and scare the neighbors!

We use the industry standard Goldmine Grading Scale  Cover/Sleeve Grading applies to OUTER SLEEVE ONLY. If the original Inner sleeve is included it will be shown in the photos. Please ask any additional questions regarding inner sleeve or album condition BEFORE purchase! THE SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS:

10: MINT (M), Pristine, Looks as if it just came off the manufacturing line, also listed as New, Mint Sealed/Unopened

?

9: NEAR MINT (NM), Looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time, maybe played a few times if ever, no evidence of play or wear whatsoever

?                      

8: EXCELLENT (EX), also listed as VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++), LP may have a faint surface mark or two barring it from being truly Near Mint, but sound quality will not be affected at all, cover sleeve is just short of Near Mint, often used for cover sleeves in Shrink, or with no ring-wear or staining or easily visible flaws whatsoever, seams and spine fully intact

?

7: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+), Shows slight signs of wear, light scuffs or scratches may be present but they do not affect playback other than faint surface noise heard sporadically in between tracks, or the occasional soft click from a surface mark here or there, cover sleeve is considered still frame-able” yet when observed closely will show to have a flaw or small flaws, very minor ring wear if any, seams and spine intact but not pristine

?

6: VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD PLUS (VG/VG+), more obvious signs of wear and handling, LP has surface noise that is noticeable in some spots but perhaps is quiet and clean in other spots, clicks and pops will be heard, but will not significantly disrupt the music, cover sleeves have more obvious ring wear or marks/staining, seams may have cracking, minor seam splitting or some missing spine text but are still fairly well intact. Writing may be present on label.

5: VERY GOOD (VG), significant and obvious wear and handling including surface noise throughout, audible scratches which cause clicks and pops and crackle but no skips or repeated grooves, cover sleeve may have significant ring wear and/or staining, seam splits may be evident, label or sleeve may have writing, names, stickers etc.

?

4: VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-), in our shop typically only going to be seen on a cover sleeve for a significantly rare album that is in extremely bad shape, lots of splitting etc, yet is still worth owning due to its rarity. We will likely never offer albums with this rating.
