DESCRIPTION: Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin III, 3 LP.  1st UK pressing in very clean condition with lowest A5/B5 matrix ("DO WHAT THOU WILT", "SO MOTE IT BE"), Peter Grant label credit, fully laminated heavyweight gate fold sleeve with pleated interior edge, fully working rotating wheel and correct "Plastic Bags Can Be Dangerous"  inner dated 07/70.  In absolute top condition all round. Vinyl has been kept in an anti-static sleeve and cover in a heavy duty PVC sleeve.  Packed this weighs over 500gm so overseas postage is as for a double.  Postage cost includes tracking, insurance and a box/cruciform mailer.  LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER: Atlantic DELUXE 2401  002. YEAR OF RELEASE: 1970. COUNTRY OF RELEASE: UK. CONDITION (VINYL/COVER) EX/EX+. Vinyl is really clean with a nice dark sheen.  It still has a couple of those little bits of black plastic around the spindle hole- check out the photos. Played all of this today on my budget deck. Sits flat on the turntable. Plays NM, immaculate. Music is clean, vibrant, clear and loud. Silence in intros and between the tracks.  It cant really sound much better than this. Sleeve is better than EX, really clean and retains great shape.  It is firm and square and has minimal edge wear,  minimal corner wear and negligible creasing.  Immaculately clean inside to gatefold sleeve.  Wheel is firmly attached and fully functioning. Spine retains great shape and is obviously fully legible. It has a narrow strip of yellowing to rear of sleeve which I have made no great effort to remove. It possibly just about  prevents NM grade for sleeve. Original white inner is one of the best I have seen. Again, its better than EX. Its really clean and white with minimal wear, fully attached poly and no edge splits. Labels are also in better than excellent condition - check out the photos.   No writing, rips,  stickers or sticker tears. Complete, original 1st UK pressing - sounds and looks great. No need to upgrade again if you buy this. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER  LED ZEPPELIN/PUNK/CLASSIC/HARD ROCK LISTINGS IN MY EBAY SHOP. Grading system: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. I DO PLAY EVERY RECORD I LIST NOW even though its often just quite briefly. Please bear in mind you may get a touch of background sound, even if its just on intros and between the tracks on 30-40 year old vinyl records!! :: MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the 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 has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades. I REMOVE ALL VINYL FROM SLEEVES PRIOR TO POSTING. RECORDS ARE SENT IN BEST QUALITY MAILERS WITH 2 STIFFENERS. I ALWAYS COMBINE POSTAGE BUT COST DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON WEIGHT OF PACKAGE.
