Brief Info: 

The fourth album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin was released on 8 November 1971. No title is printed on the album, so it is usually referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, following the naming sequence used by the band's first three studio albums. The album has alternatively been referred to as , Four Symbols, The Fourth Album (those two titles each having been used in the Atlanticcatalogue), Untitled, Runes, The Hermit, and ZoSo, the latter of which is derived from the symbol used by Jimmy Page for the album sleeve. Page often had the ZoSo symbol embroidered on his clothes.

Containing many of the band's most famous songs, including "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll", "Going to California" and the band's signature song, "Stairway to Heaven", Led Zeppelin IV was a commercial and critical success. The album is one of the best-selling albums worldwide at 32 million units] It is also certified 23-times platinum by the RIAA, making it the third-best-selling album ever in the US.

                                          Vinyl: EX+. An absolutely stunning copy of this album and I have played this in full on my headphones in order to detect any faults at all. I did not find any!! Gorgeous audio with fantastic stereo separation. This is a top disc with just two or three of the finest retraction type hairlines only visible under a strong light having absolutely no impact on the audio at all. I have had this super album before but rarely as such an extremely well cared for vinyl. This will suit most top collectors. Needless to say, NO jumps, NO sticks or ticks. This is THE way to listen to "Stairway to Heaven".

            Gatefold sleeve: EX. A fantastic sleeve without any damage at all. NO writing , NO smudges, in short not anything unwanted. Moreover there are no creases or tears. Lightest of storage edge wear. Tiny "micro" corner bumps, even new albums have this. Not often seen like this as most early copies have seen better days!! This is the original matt UK sleeve. The inner gatefold is likewise EX without any damage!! The pictures speak for themselves.

Labels: EX++.

This also still retains the original, rough textured inner sleeve with the two flipbacks. It has some sellotape to the bottom and a tiny tear on the top. This item is most often missing alltogether. It always has seamsplits as the paper is like blotting paper which will tear by even looking at it!

Stamper Codes: 1 U / 1 U

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY.  NO MARKS,  A COUPLE OF LIGHT HAIRLINES ONLY,  NONE DEEP, NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!

             This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 45.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
