Description

This is part of a superb collection I am selling on behalf of a friend. There are some true gems here (not just saying that because she's my friend!). They were in the family since purchase and were stored in plastic sleeves and in a record case for decades. Some top titles in absolutely remarkable condition.

This item:
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin II
Atlantic 1969
Stunning example, appearing to be barely played, close to NM. Lovely clean and bright vinyl and labels showing no deterioration. Gatefold sleeve is in fantastic condition, close to Excellent throughout - particularly difficult sleeve to find in nice condition. A remarkable copy that will not disappoint. This has the first pressing A2 B2 matrix codes and 'The Lemon Song'. Only preceded by the 'Livin' Lovin' Wreck variant. Probably only played a few times. Original inner also in Excellent condition.
Runout Info: Side 1: A//2 Side 2: B//2

We try to be as clear as possible in descriptions and any given gradings so buyers receive what they expect. Please read descriptions carefully and view the accompanying photos.


• In the unusual event that you are disappointed with your purchase, we make the returns procedure hassle free (and fully participate in the eBay money back guarantee). Please therefore bid or buy with confidence.

• All vinyl is supplied with a brand new polylined inner sleeve and a brand new 'clear glass' plastic cover for protection.

• All components are separated before packing to avoid seam splits.

• Quality bespoke record mailers with additional card stiffeners are used for packing.

• We play test some records fully and all records partially (due to time constraints) and focus on any areas where there are marks or wear on the surface, noting where these present a deterioration in the audio.

• We don't currently have a high spec player (We use a vintage 70's Sansui SR-212 with a new stylus) and don't use Mint as a grading.


We appreciate that while the condition of the sleeves can be clearly seen on the photos, it is often difficult to pick up any marks on the playing surface or labels. Therefore, here is a general grading guide as to what to expect from our vinyl:

NM (Near Mint): appears barely played. There will be no visible spindle trails on the labels.

EX (Excellent): a really solid copy with no visible marks except light lines under bright light. Plays well with no lessening of sound quality on our player. May be a handful of spindle trails but no evidence of anything other than light previous use.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): May have one or two visible marks but still plays with strong audio, maybe some non invasive static/crackle in places but no repeating clicks. May have more spindle trails around the central hole hinting at fairly regular previous play.

VG (Very Good): The record will have some deterioration to the audio which may impact the listening enjoyment in some but not all areas. Maybe caused by light scratches or scuffs, these will be visible without the aid of bright light. There will be no jumps or loops. A larger number of spindle trails may be in evidence around the central aperture.
