Description

OKAY , I AM NOT GOING TO BORE YOU TO DEATH WITH FACTS AND FIGURES , BUT , THIS IS THE ULTIMATE LED COMMERCIALLY RELEASED COLLECTABLE OF ALL TIME !!!!!!!! .

RELEASED IN 1969 ON THE ATLANTIC (PLUM) LABEL , MATRIX No. 588171 , THIS ALBUM IS RARER THAN ROCKING HORSE DOO-DOOS .

AS SAID BEFORE , I WILL NOT BORE YOU TO DEATH WITH FACTS AND FIGURES , AS I WILL NOT INSULT YOUR INTELLIGENCE AS TO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT .

WHEN I RECENTLY ACQUIRED THIS ITEM IT WAS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION . THE INNER SLEEVE HOWEVER HAD 'SWEATED' ONTO THE VINYL BECAUSE THE ALBUM HAD NOT BEEN PLAYED FOR MANY YEARS .

I , IN MY WISDOM DECIDED TO 'CLEAN IT UP' WITH A LITTLE HEAVY BREATHING AND WIPING IT WITH THE SMALL OF MY HAND . UNFORTUNATELY , ( AND I COULD HAVE CRIED AT DESECRATING SUCH AN ITEM) , WHEN MY HAND SLIPPED AND MY INDEX FINGERNAIL PROCEEDED TO SKIM ACROSS TRACK ONE OF SIDE TWO (YOUR TIME IS GONNA COME) , AND PRODUCE A TWO INCH LONG MARK ON THE SAID TRACK . MAY I BURN IN HELL FOR SUCH A STUPID ACT ! . . HOWEVER , I HAVE PLAYED THROUGH THE SAID TRACK , AND LUCKILY IT DOES NOT JUMP , SKIP , OR CRACKLE (THANK GOD IT WAS ONLY MY FINGERNAIL THAT CAUGHT IT) .

APART FROM THIS SURFACE MARK , THE VINYL REMAINS IN MINT CONDITION , AND JUDGING FROM THE SPINDLE MARKS HAS OTHERWISE ONLY BEEN PLAYED TWICE ON EACH SIDE IN ITS LIFETIME .

PLEASE VIEW PHOTOS FOR THE CONDITION OF THIS ITEM (INCLUDING THE DESECRATION ON MY PART) , AS I DO NOT RELY ON MY FEEDBACK , BUT PREFER TO LET THE PHOTOS DO THE TALKING ,(AS YOU WILL FIND WITH ALL MY LISTINGS , ALL PHOTOS ARE SUPERSIZED , AND ARE TAKEN TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY !). SO MUCH SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE MINUTE PARTICLES OF DUST THAT YOU GET ON ANY RECORD UNTIL IT HAS BEEN ANTI-STATICALLY CLEANED .

THE OUTER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION , WITH NO CORNER CHAFFS , SPLITS , OR DISCOLOURATION . THERE ARE HOWEVER , A FEW SMALL VERY SLIGHT CREASES TO THE FRONT LEFT HAND SIDE , AND A COUPLE TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SLEEVE (ABOUT 3" IN FROM THE EDGE , ON THE ZEPPELIN) , LOOK HARD ON THE SUPERSIZE PHOTOS OF THE SLEEVE AND YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPOT THEM , THEY ARE THAT IRRELEVANT .

THE REAR OF THE LAMINATED SLEEVE SHOWS NO DISCOLOURATION OR ANY OTHER WEAR AND TEAR APART FROM VERY MINOR CREASING TO THE SPINE (RIGHT SIDE) , AGAIN , PLEASE BROWSE PHOTOS .

THE SPINE OF THE SLEEVE REMAINS UNFLATTENED , RETAINING ITS 'CRIMPED' APPEARANCE AS OF NEW , AND HAS ONLY ONE SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION DUE TO A SLIGHT CREASE ON THE FRONT SLEEVE ( JUST BY ROBERT PLANT'S LEFT SHOULDER ).

I THINK THAT I HAVE LISTED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT MAKES THIS ALBUM NOT IN MINT CONDITION , BUT , YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANOTHER AS GOOD AS THIS COPY .

I WILL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THIS ITEM , BUT I CAN SAY THAT MY GRADINGS AND DESCRIPTIONS ARE WAY BEYOND A LOT OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN ADVERTISED ON EBAY .

THIS TRULY IS ONE OF THE BEST SURVING COPIES OF THIS FIRST PRESS ALBUM I HAVE SEEN IN 25 YEARS .

P.S. , NEVER AGAIN WILL I ATTEMPT TO CLEAN A RECORD MYSELF ! . ALL LISTINGS IN FUTURE WILL STATE ( IF NECCESARY) 'DISC NEEDS CLEANING' .

MERRY XMAS TO ALL MY PAST , AND FUTURE EBAYERS THAT I HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH , OR WILL DO SO IN THE FUTURE .

HAPPY BIDDING!
