Led Zeppelin IV (Zoso) - Classic Records 180gm 33 1/3rpm TEST PRESSING SEALED & MINT! -  I purchased this copy here on Ebay in 2016 during a LONG period when Classic was selling off it's inventory after shutting down its operations. Here is their original promotional verbiage:
This auction is for a STILL SEALED single LP Test Pressing marked A/B of the Classic Records 180gram reissue of "Led Zeppelin IV". These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and approximately less than 20 exist depending on the title. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value. 
Now's your chance to get this Classic Records rarity at a fair market price!
CONDITION: The test pressing is sealed and mint. The album comes in a generic white cover, with a sticker on the upper right hand corner indicating catalogue number SD7208 (Please see 2). 
Picture 4 shows the Classic Records label on my open copy of their original pressing of Led Zep IV. This is shown as a reference ONLY to show the SD7208 catalogue number. It is NOT a picture of the test pressing.   

PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR MORE CLASSIC RECORDS TEST PRESSINGS COMING SOON!
 

ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $5 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs. If a single LP is purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $5 for shipping materials. If two LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $5 for shipping materials. If three or more LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $0 for shipping materials (I will absorb the cost of materials). As the final amount can only be calculated after auctions have ended, I will issue the appropriate refund on the day the LPs are shipped. 

About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment. 

Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck! 

PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
