Led Zeppelin II
ORIGINAL UK Lp
RED & PLUM LABELS
PRODUCED BY JIMMY PAGE & LEMON SONG
(another from my own Zeppelin collection)
CLEANED WITH Pro-Ject VC-S MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner.

Released in October 1969, this Lp was the follow up to the hugely successful Zeppelin I... & what an album...Being the groups very first album to reach No. 1 in both the UK and the USA.
The album production was entirely credited to Jimmy Page.
(as a little note: In November of 1999 the album was certified 12X platinum!!)

Catalogue Number: 588198 (no space-showing a very early press)
QUALITY Red & Plum label

VG!
I have just gently cleaned her with a Pro-Ject VC-s MKII vacuum record cleaner and then listened to her all the way through...W-O-W.
The bass is deep and rich and the highs are simply fantastic....TURN THIS BABY UP-I did!
WOW-Superb drums kicking in at the start-magical! And Ooooh, the escalation of the bass line on Ramble On is a pure joy to listen to..
There was a revolutionary pop from the end of Lemon Song, bleeding into the start of Thank You due to a scratch between these two songs-it then faded away and came back a little further into Thank You and then fading away completely way before the end of Thank You...that really is the only detraction (and not much at all) to this wonderful slab of vinyl.
The drum solo on side 2, at the end of Ramble On is exquisitely clear, bassy and DEEEEEP...seemlessly transitioning into Bring It On Home with pure clarity of the bass line riding through!!!
FLAT as the day she was born.
I am only selling this one from my personal stock as I have too many copies now ;).
!!!!AS ZEPPELIN WANTED YOU TO HEAR THEM-with some original pops and crackle ;)!!!!


The Labels:
 EX+!
ORIGINAL ORANGE & PLUM labels.
There are only a couple of incredibly  light spindle marks evident when angled towards the light and really looking for them.
WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL.

The Cover:
VG(+).
Original  printing lighter 'CHOCOLATE' coloured GATEFOLD cover with justy some light wear to her-Please see the pictures provided.
States "Lemon Song" in the sleeve track listing.
These covers are notorious for light ring wear, but this one shows very little of that. The one thing of note is a small patch of lifting to the top on the back panel (from a sticker I presume) ...Again, please see the detailed images provided. Other than the above mentioned, the sleeve is in superb condition.
A little rubbing to the top and bottom of the spine-but no splits.
NO WRITING.
NO TEARS.

THE EARLIEST PRINTING CREDIT HERE.

The Inner:
 EX.
It is the ORIGINAL  two-windowed inner sleeve with the "Plastic bags can be dangerous" statement box to one side. There is just some discolouration and light creasing-that is all-certainly did her job by looking after the vinyl for the last 50 years!  :)
NO SPLITS OR WRITING

THIS BABY WOULD PUT A VERY LARGE SMILE ON ANY ROCK FAN!!!
