Description
Led Zeppelin IV 4 IIII Untitled 1971 early UK pressing plum labels Atlantic 2401012 Vinyl LP - Listen
AUDIO SAMPLES AVAILABLE BELOW
Very early UK 1971 pressing with red and plum labels and original cardboard inner and Porky/Pecko Duck hand etchings in the run-out area.
Vinyl visual: Visually both sides are in VERY GOOD- condition with a few scuffs/scratches on both sides.
Vinyl audio: I have played through both sides on a quality system. The audio is in VERY GOOD+ condition and for the most part, displays the rich and dynamic sound quality associated with these early pressings. However, some static and crackle can be heard in the quiet sections. Have a listen to the audio samples below for yourself. Aside from the crackle in quiet sections, the audio is very enjoyable.
Please see the audio samples linked below to listen for yourself:

Cover: The cover is in VERY GOOD condition with a tape mark along the spine and a name written in the top left hand corner on the back of the cover. This item comes with the original cardboard lyric inner which has some tape marks and splits but is otherwise in clear readable condition.

____________________________
I make every effort to grade as accurately as possible so if you have any questions or issues let me know and please get in touch before leaving negative feedback.
All items are packaged in quality cardboard mailers with further cardboard stiffeners included to protect the record and prevent movement during postage.
I grade using the Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
As well as the above grades, NEAR MINT is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
