before bidding.
The winning bidder must pay full shipping. It will be shipped by UPS with full insurance, this will ensure that buyer and seller do not get ripped off. I have two different shipping quotes to give an idea of shipping cost, this box set weighs 45 pounds. To Los Angeles California $200 Canadian funds. To London England $500 Canadian funds. If it must be shipped by air it will cost $500 Canadian funds. These are just estimates, at the end of auction contact me with your address, within 24 hours I will contact you with an exact shipping price. Payment must be made within 48 hours. Paypal only, I will ship worldwide.
First off I would like to clarify that this box set contains 48 records. Every time I have seen this box set come up on E-bay (only six in three years) It has been listed as 44 record box set. No matter how many times I count the records there are 48. There is 10 albums, 8 are 4 record sets (8x4=32) And 2 albums are 8 record sets (16+32=48) If anyone has information on this please contact me.
This is the Led Zeppelin 48 record one sided 45rpm 200 gram QUIEX SV-P road case audiophile box set, pressed from the original master recordings by Mike Hobson at Classic Records. The sound quality is simply magical, and fully approved by the band. Full authentic reproductions of covers, sleeve art, labels, and booklets. All extra vinyl is housed in plain white sleeves, which you can see in one of the photos. The road case has metal edging and corners, is very sturdy. The photos are of actual product and not stock photos. There are only 150 of these in existence, never to be pressed in this format again. I have seen the single record 33rpm Led Zeppelin classic records have reached $200 a piece. I assure you that 45rpm is better than 33rpm, if you don't know the difference I will explain. Every 2 seconds of music on a 33rpm record is spread out over 3 feet. Every 2 seconds of music on a 45rpm record is spread out over 4 feet, that is why it must be played faster. More space for the music simply makes it easier for your needle to pick up every note.
I have owned this from new, one owner, not selling for a friend, this is my baby.
Condition is MINT, in fact not all the records have even been played. I thought I would own this for life, so I was in no hurry to play them all. The ones that were played were only played once. Except for Led Zeppelin III record 3, which was played 4 times. The acoustics on this record was so jaw dropping I simply had to play it for a couple of friends. The first 5 albums all the records were played. From Physical Graffiti to Coda I would guess there is 8-10 records never played. Due to bills stacking up I am forced to sell the pride of my 1600 record collection, please give it a good home.
I have set the reserve at $2,800 american funds. The last one sold for $3,555 american funds, so if you are bidding you can be assured that the reserve will be met. Good luck.
