Original dull matt gate fold sleeve. Printed inner is from an early 1970s K press, not original.  Packed this weighs over 500gm so overseas postage is as for a double. Postage cost includes tracking and packaging including a top quality mailer. LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER: Atlantic 2401 002 YEAR OF RELEASE: 1971: COUNTRY OF RELEASE: UK CONDITION (VINYL/COVER): F+ (please read on)/G+. Vinyl is really clean with a nice dark sheen. It has 2 scratches on side 1 and 1 on side 2. Played all of this today on my budget deck, Sits perfectly flat on the turntable. "Black Dog" has a repetitive tick from the aforementioned mark. It also causes a stick right at the beginning of "Battle Of Evermore". This will facilitate a genuine 1970s record listening experience for you- you will have to get off your ass and lift the needle a few mm across the track. After that side 1 plays pretty clean- no problems during "Stairway To Heaven". Side 2 plays through loud and clean, just a couple of ticks at beginning of "Going To California". Gate fold cover is in acceptable condition. It is firm and square and has heavy edge wear including a repaired edge split to top rear edge. There is some damage to front and rear top edge- check out the photos.  It also has moderate to heavy corner wear and only light creasing. The inside of the gate fold is really clean. Non-original inner sleeve is in decent shape, it is complete with no feathering and a split to one of three edges only. Very clean labels- check out the photos. No writing, rips, stickers or sticker tears.  PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LED ZEPPELIN/PUNK/METAL/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.
