THIS LP IS MEGA RARE

THIS IS ONE OF LED ZEPPELIN's RAREST LP's EVER AND IS A TRUE 1ST PRESS; THERE IS A LOW START PRICE WITH NO RESERVE ON THIS ALBUM.

VINYL (VISUAL)

Thickly pressed quality vinyl, you only find with the early red/plum labels.

It looks really good. There are light surface marks and wispy lines on both sides.

  VERY GOOD

VINYL (FULLY PLAY GRADED)

It sits flat on the turntable, no warping.

It sounds fantastic, very vibrant with only the slightest of static in the quiet moments.

Side One; From start to finish sounds fantastic with Only minimal static in quiet moments

Side Two; Again the same great sound with minimal static heard in the quieter moments, there is the odd tick at the beginning of That’s the Way but only a couple.

The marks do not affect play, it is a great listen. As with most vinyl there is some static, and the odd tick (side 2 track 3) in quiet moments, but this could be down to the record needing a professional clean.

I have fully play graded this record using headphones and have been as honest as possible. This is a very goo listen and deserves to be graded at;

   VERY GOOD+ to EXCELLENT

SLEEVE

First issue fully laminated E J. Day Gatefold sleeve is in a good condition, (plenty of photos so you can see it at all angles) CLICK HERE I don’t think many survive without the wheel coming out or the laminate lifting but this one is ok, the wheel works perfectly and the laminate is fine.

It lays flat no curving as with most you find, and only a slight amount of colour fade / yellowing.

The sleeve has only got 1 tiny tear (see photo), and absolutely NO graffiti or stickers whatsoever.

The spine is excellent.

  VERY GOOD+

INNER SLEEVE

It is in a good condition, no rips or tears and virtually no creasing

   VERY GOOD

LABELS

Labels are the sensational red / plum ATLANTIC with the ATLANTIC logos to the left of the central holes on both sides of the labels to confirm that this is the very first issue of this magnificent rarity. Has the original first pressing "produced by Jimmy Page executive producer Peter Grant" label texts, and the cat no in one 2401002 later pressings do not have this, Both labels have only 1 or 2  very light spindle lines. NO graffiti, NO rips NO tears or stickers.

   EXCELLENT

All my records are graded 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 are in perfect condition.
Records advertised as sealed or un-played 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, discoloration, etc.

FAIR:
The record is still just playable but it 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.
