VINYLS ARE VG++ for vinyl 2 and EX for vinyl 1 AND RETAIN HIGH GLOSS SHINE







'Following the staggering reunion triumph at the O2, which I was lucky enough to be at, interest in Led Zeppelin has become greater than ever, with the site for the Ahmettribute.com tribute concert receiving an unbelievable 120 million hits, with 25 million people apparently registering for a Zeppelin ticket, its as good a time as any to invest in an original copy early press of this classic Zep album.'




Vinyls: VG++ . Great first press UK  vinyls.  Side A and B have a few light hairline traces and paper retraction traces side B has a minor scuffmark which is quite small and does not impact on the fabulous audio bar two small pops and grades EX, side C and D have a few hairlines but these are shallow and do not cause any concern and show very light paper retraction traces under a very strong light. These are from a collection that has been largely stored in a dust free environment at room temperature and no humidity, inside a protective polythene outer sleeve in purpose built LP racks. I have played two of the sides on a high end system (Linn Sondek/Rotel) and it did not disappoint. This sounded better than any re-issue ever can. Lovely channel separation without any distortion and only light static at times. I have seen a few copies of this album but this is definitely a top copy and an upgrade keeper album. Barely any static at all. Needless to say really, NO jumps, NO clicks, NO sticks etc..



Sleeve: VG+ to EX. The outer sleeve has all the die cuts of the windows. All the windows to the front are perfect and indeed razor sharp.  The spine has its original red writing (later ones had black writing) and is 100% legible. Wear on the edges is very light only and I do believe that this is a very nice example indeed. There is some amount of wear on the corners though but this does definitely not detract from the beauty of this sleeve. The inner card insert with lyrics is in excellent condition with light yellowing. The inner picture cardboard sleeves are in EX condition although one has a tiny seam split to the top. 

 


Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

 

 

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
