Side 1: Rock And Roll / Celebration Day / The Song Remains The Same / Rain Song
Side 2: Dazed And Confused
Side 3: No Quarter / Stairway To Heaven
Side 4: Moby Dick / Whole Lotta Love
LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked and factory-fresh labels with just one light spindle on two of the sides.
Both spindle holes are still tight indicating how seldom these records have been on a turntable - probably just once
VINYL Visual: EX+/EX+/NM/NM
All four surfaces are practically as-new.
There are some brush marks (especially on Record One) but these mostly appear to be within the vinyl itself and have no audio impact
VINYL Audio: NM/EX+/EX+/NM
Tremendous crystal clear, very sharp and very strong audio reproduction throughout - the whole set plays with little to fault.
My play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues at all - no scratches, only a few brief clicks noted on "Dazed And Confused" and "Stairway To Heaven" and the barest hint of surface noise in one or two of the quieter sections (all very minor) - otherwise, the sound performance is extremely clean.
This is one of the finest playing copies I've heard in a while and these UK editions are hard to find as they are vastly outnumbered by the later German copies which were sold in the UK
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD++
The sleeve has taken all the wear as the records themselves are practically untouched.
Being mostly black this sleeve marks/rubs easily and this one has some rubbing to the edges and record impression to the front and back.
The booklet has evidence of being thumbed through but all pages are clean and unmarked and it's firmly attached with clean staples.
The original price sticker is still on the back (£3.99) which I have not removed as it is part of the record's history (but no doubt would be easily removable with a little lighter fluid)
INNER SLEEVES: EXCELLENT
Both inners are undamaged with no splits (rare to find them unsplit) and only light signs of handling - slight surface creases and a few finger marks
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVES WITH NEW ANTI-STATIC LINERS, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
