MEGA RARE LED ZEPPELIN IV WITH OVER STICKERED LABELS!!!

Hi and welcome to my auction. My name is Stuart, and let me start by saying that first and foremost, I am an avid record collector, and have been since I purchased my first record in the late 60’s. I don’t sell many records at all, but have decided that I don’t need so many duplicates of everything, so have decided to thin down my collection to make room! Most of the records I will be selling over the coming weeks will be either duplicates or ones that I have acquired that do not fit into my “wanted” list.

I take great care of all my records as regards storage and protection, and they are stored upright and in a dry, smoke and pet free environment, away from bright sunlight. All the ones I will be listing will be carefully play tested and visually graded, and cleaned on my Cadence Okki Nokki record cleaning machine. Any significant defects to the record or sleeve will be noted in the listing. I will use the grading system found in the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide.

Buyer satisfaction is very important to me, and I am very proud of my 100% feedback, which I have had since starting Ebaying 6 years ago. If I grade a record as near mint ( I do not believe in grading mint, unless it is brand new) then you can be sure that it will be visually and audibly just that, and would be hard to find a better example!

I will give a full, money back guarantee if you are not entirely satisfied (less return postage costs). If there are any problems with your purchase, please contact me before leaving negative feedback, and I will sort out any problems to our mutual satisfaction.

Ok, now I have given you some background information about myself, it’s time to get on with the auction.

FOR SALE.

LED ZEPPELIN IV

FOUR SYMBOLS

THIS IS A MEGA RARE COPY ON THE ORANGE/PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL, WITH OVER STICKERS ON SIDE 1 AND 2! THESE HARDLY EVER COME UP FOR SALE, AND I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER IN SIX YEARS ON EBAY! THE STICKERS WERE PUT OVER THE ORIGINAL LABEL WHEN KINNEY TOOK OVER WARNER BROTHERS DISTRIBUTION FROM POLYDOR IN 1972, AND BEFORE THEY RE-ALLOCATED THE CATALOGUE NUMBER TO K50008.

ALSO ETCHED IN THE RUN OFFS IS THE LEGENDARY ENGINEERS SIGNATURES "PECKO DUCK" AND "PORKY"

VISUAL. BOTH SIDES RETAIN THERE DEEP BLACK GLOSS SHINE, WITH SOME LIGHT SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS, AND VERY LIGHT SCUFFS AND WISPY HAIRLINES, NONE OF WHICH ARE FEELABLE. THE LABELS ON BOTH SIDES ARE VERY CLEAN AND BRIGHT,WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. THEY ONLY HAVE 3 OR 4 SPINDLE MARKS, INDICATING THAT THEY HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE PLAY. THE RECORD DOES HAVE A VERY SLIGHT WARP, BUT IS ONLY VERY SLIGHT, AND DOES NOT EFFECT PLAY WHATSOEVER. I WOULD GRADE VISUALLY AS EXCELLENT.

AUDIO. BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY, WITH SILENCE BETWEEN ALL TRACKS AND ONLY 6-7 VERY,VERY LIGHT TICKS AT THE START OF SIDE 1, TRACK 3, AND 3-4 IN THE MIDDLE. SIDE2, TRACK 3, A FEW VERY,VERY LIGHT TICKS DURING THE INTRO. ALL THESE TICKS MENTIONED ABOVE ARE ONLY NOTICABLE IF YOU REALLY CONCENTRATE ON LISTENING OUT FOR THEM, AND NOT LISTENING TO THE MUSIC, OTHERWISE YOU MAY NOT EVEN NOTICE THEM.THERE ARE NO JUMPS, STICKS OR SKIPS AT ALL, AND ABSOLUTELY NO CRACKLE, BACKGROUND NOISE OR DISTORTION WHATSOEVER. I CANNOT EMPHASISE ENOUGH HOW WELL THIS PLAYS FOR A 38 YEAR OLD RECORD! I WOULD GRADE AUDIO AS EXCELLENT+ BOTH SIDES.

THE SLEEVE. THE MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN GREAT CONDITION, WITH LIGHT SHELF WEAR AND CORNER BUMPS, AND NO UNWANTED WRITING OR TEARS..THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL NICE AND SHARP WITH NO FEATHERING. THE THE FRONT TOP LEFT CORNER DOES A SMALL TEAR WHERE A PRICE STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED. THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE HAS VERY FAINT SIGNS OF RING WEAR, AND A VERY LIGHT CREASE ONLY NOTICABLE WHEN REFLECTED IN THE LIGHT. I WOULD GRADE IT AS EXCELLENT.

INNER SLEEVE.  THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER IS THE RARE FLIPBACK VERSION, WHERE THE JOINING FLAPS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE, RATHER THAN THE MORE COMMON INSIDE VERSION! UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS SUFFERED FROM A FROM A  10 CENTIMETRE SPLIT IN THE BOTTOM WHERE THE RECORD HAS CUT ITS WAY THROUGH, AND HAS A SMALL 1 CENTIMETRE TEAR IN THE TOP OPENING, THEREFORE CAN ONLY BE GRADED AS GOOD.
