EX-

Yes....That good.

I have just gently cleaned her with a Pro-Ject VC-s MKII vacuum record cleaner, followed by an ultrasonic bath and then a final suck on the vac cleaner to get any dust out of the groove and then listened to her all the way through...W-O-W.

The bass is deep and rich and the highs are simply fantastic....TURN THIS BABY UP-I did!

WOW-Superb drums kicking in at the start-magical! And Ooooh, the escalation of the bass line on Ramble On is a pure joy to listen to..

Jimmy Pages guitar screams out on Whole Lotta Love!

There was some light, but only occasional bit of soft background crackle-evident iin the middle of track , side 1, just before the breakdown, this is from a small mark to the vinyl here...With the occasional light and soft pop throughout the rest of the album-but certainly not frequent and not offensively jarring either. For the absolute majority, this wonderful slab of vinyl screams out with utter clarity, force and conviction!

Visually she carries just light marks but these had little bearing on playback-as stated above.

Did I mention the glorious, ground shaking bass??!!...MAGICAL!!

FLAT as the day she was born.

I am only selling this one from my personal stock as I have too many copies now ;).

!!!!AS ZEPPELIN WANTED YOU TO HEAR THEM-with just some occasional and very brief original pops and crackle ;)!!!!

The Labels:

EX+!

ORIGINAL ORANGE & PLUM labels.

There are only a couple of incredibly light spindle marks evident when angled towards the light and really looking for them.

WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL.

LEMON SONG title...This was later removed by Peter Grant as he was fearful of being sued by Blind Lemon Jefferson.

'THANKYOU' spelt without the space...This was an oversight and was quickly rectified, so not many of these out there!

MADE IN Gt. BRITAIN

The Cover:

VG+.

Original 1st printing lighter 'CHOCOLATE' coloured GATEFOLD cover with justy some light wear to her-Please see the pictures provided.

States "Lemon Song" in the sleeve track listing.

These covers are notorious for shelf wear and light ring wear, with this one being no different-she shows some light ring wear to the back and some shelf wear to the edges..But she really is in great condition.

There is a small sticker to the top right corner which I haven’t attempted to remove-that’s up to the buyer if they want to do this.

Rubbing to the spine and edges too-but no splits, however the title is no longer legible.

Tiny name to the back panel at the bottom, within the logo.

NO TEARS.

"Printed and made by EJ DAY & Co, London W11"

"UPTIGHTAN OUTASIGHT"

THE EARLIEST PRINTING CREDIT HERE.

The Inner:

EX.

It is the ORIGINAL two-windowed inner sleeve with the "Plastic bags can be dangerous" statement box to one side. With just some light creasing-that is all-certainly did her job by looking after the vinyl for the last 50 years! :)

NO SPLITS OR WRITING

THIS BABY WOULD PUT A VERY LARGE SMILE ON ANY ROCK FAN!!!

THE COLLECTABLE ORANGE & PLUM LABELS -ALL HOUSED IN THE LIGHT CHOCOLATE GATEFOLD SLEEVE & ALL COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER TOO.

SUPERB AUDIO THROUGHOUT

LEMON SONG & THANKYOU song titles.
