Detailed seller ratings:
Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do NOT expect something different from the listing.
Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.
Dispatch time: PLEASE RATE MY DISPATCH TIME, NOT THE POSTAL SERVICE DELIVERY TIME...I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.
Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.
Feedback: I would appreciate your feedback after the sale and you have received your item and are happy with it. This means I can then leave feedback for you and our transaction is closed.
ANY ITEM THAT EXCEEDS £46 IN VALUE MUST BE SENT SIGNED-FOR SHIPPING AND INSURED TO FULL VALUE - THIS PROTECTS YOU AND ME FROM ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS IN TRANSIT. PLEASE WAIT FOR FINAL INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. THANKS.
LED ZEPPELIN
"In Through The Out Door"
1979
SSK 59410
SWAN SONG
UK 1st PRESS:
1. A5/B5 matrix - hand etched
2. 'A' sleeve design
3. 'Magic' inner sleeve with 'MADE IN ENGLAND' and 'SSK 59410'
4. Outer brown paper bag sleeve with 'SSK 59410'
5. 'Manufactured in the UK' on labels
FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH
PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method of all, with no exterior audio distractions - better and more precise than listening on speakers and far superior to a visual grading)
VINYL:
S S K 5 9 4 1 0 A - 5
S S K 5 9 4 1 0 B - 5
Nice thick vinyl still with an excellent glossy shine. There are a few superficial scuffs but these have little effect on audio playback which has excellent tone and volume from this UK 1st pressing. There is light background crackle on run ins and quiet intros but this is easily and quickly covered by the loud audio. An occasional light pop here and there but nothing repetitive or overly intrusive. Plays nicely as VG+ to EX.
Plays right through with no jumps or sticks.
OUTER SLEEVE:
This was another complex 'marketing' gimmick by Led Zeppelin...the 'outer' sleeve featured 6 different designs by the iconic Hipgnosis team, each design identified by a letter A-F at the top of the spine, this was then 'hidden' by a further outer brown paper bag sleeve so that the original purchaser would not know which sleeve design had been acquired until opening the bag. The black and white heavy card inner sleeve also featured a little trick in that it would take on impregnated colours in the design when it came into contact with water.
Outer paper bag: complete with SSK 59410 lettering confirming an original UK issue (many are swapped with US and German sleeves). Condition is VG+ with no seam splits, no major tears to opening edge, slight sticker mark to front, no seam splits
Outer sleeve: letter 'A' version, complete with SSK 59410 lettering confirming an original UK issue. Condition is EX+ with only light wear to corners and spine. Nice and square spine perfectly legible.
Inner sleeve: complete with SSK 59410 lettering and 'Printed and Made in England' text confirming an original UK issue. Condition is EX+ with some colour from the 'magic ink' visible. No seam splits, no graffiti.
LABELS:
Excellent, NO graffiti and only a few spindle traces visible. 'Manufactured in the UK' on labels.
Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
