Description
Led Zeppelin : Physical Graffiti A4/B4/C2/D1
This early pressing plays with stunning clarity, depth and power and only minimal interference on a couple of tracks. There is next to no spindle wear and judging by the visual quality of the records they have hardly ever been played.
The iconic cover is stunning and has no obvious wear at all and the same applies to all the inners. This 'package' really is in fantastic condition and rarely found as immaculate as this!
Apologies for the shipping cost but the Royal Mail have massively increased their prices recently.

Play grading
S1 is stunning with audio that is nigh on perfect. There is just one light click on 'The Rover' but aside from that the clarity and depth of the audio cannot be faulted. There is a minor touch of mega light static during the quieter moments but it is totally non-intrusive. S2 is even better and 'Kashmir' just has to be heard to be believed! The depth and power is outstanding and is Mint without a doubt.
The long quiet intro on 'In The Light' is as close to perfection that you will find. With next to no static the clarity is incredible and it proceeds to plays with great precision for the remainder, just a small number of very light ticks. 'Down By The Seaside' is superb with just the one light click and whilst the intro on 'Ten Years Gone' has a few seconds of static/crackle the rest of the track plays exceptionally well with only a couple of light clicks. The majority of S4 plays with great quality and it is only the intro on 'Black Country Woman' that has a little interference, some light static and four clicks due to a tiny 'speck' that refuses to move!
Visual grading
At first look you would think these vinyls were new! They have an immaculate glossy sheen and clearly have hardly ever been played and in fact I can only detect one very faint spindle trace on S4. The only 'negatives' are a very small collection of what could be needle marks on S3 and one tiny 'speck' on S4. They are in great condition and I can only see a handful of mega faint hairlines.
The Cover
This is one of the most impressive covers you will find. So often the corners are torn or frayed but there is no damage here, just a couple of barely visible creases. The edges are so clean and have no marking and all the 'window' are perfectly intact. The top edges often have some wear also but again they are in superb shape. As per the first/early pressings it has the red lettering on the 'spine' and the Kings Road address on the back. Neither side of the cover has any marking and I am confident in grading it as Near Mint+ it has been so well preserved down the years.
The Inner Sleeves + Folded Insert
The two custom inners are in perfect Mint condition and the two page insert with the song titles etc is also Mint you could not find better! So often it is marked/stained but not here!
The Labels
They are in beautiful condition with no marking or writing and just one faint spindle trace on the S4 label. As a point of interest the Warner logo can only be seen on S4. Mint-
