Descriptions:

Led Zeppelin:
Atlantic SD 8216 (George Piros pressing!)
SD 8216 is the U.S. 1969 pressing. I estimate this particular record was pressed around 1974, judging from the records pictured on the inner sleeve. This is a first press, but keep in mind that Zep first presses stayed in print for a long time. The second printings started in 1977 (that is SD 19126).
Side A matrix #'s: ST-A-681461CC  AT/GP
Side A matrix #'s: ST-A-681462CC  AT/GP
GP indicates a George Piros pressing!
Sleeve is VG due to some shelf wear and a small seam split (less than 2") on the bottom seam
Vinyl is VG --there is a needle scuff on both side one and side two. I played the LP, and while there is some surface noise consistent with a VG record, the scuffs do not significantly affect play.

Led Zeppelin II:
Atlantic SD 8236 (true first press!)
SD 8236 is the U.S. 1969 pressing. Don't be put off by the Gold Record Award sticker, as Led Zeppelin II WENT GOLD JUST THREE WEEKS AFTER ITS RELEASE on Nov. 10, 1969! I estimate this is a late 1969 printing and is a TRUE FIRST PRESS, judging by the records pictured on the inner sleeve, and the matrix numbers.

My wife and I are parting with some of our record collection. We were both disc jockeys and record collectors. These records are from our personal collections. As DJs and record collectors we understood the value of taking care of our records.  Check my other auctions! I am listing a number of records this week ranging from 1960s psych rarities, 1970s rock, to 1980s and 1990s rare underground and punk LP and 7" vinyl, including some rarely seen for auction! Every record I list will begin with a low starting bid with no reserve. This could be your chance to pick up an elusive record at a great price!

Records are from a non-smoking household. I use Goldmine grades, and never grade anything mint unless it is still sealed (ss), and many ss records are not mint! I grade conservatively--I would rather you get a record that you think is undergraded than one that is overgraded. Read the description and bid appropriately. I have 100% positive feedback so you can bid with confidence.

All records are shipped in professional quality record mailers. I accept paypal only.

U.S. Media Mail shipping is $4. Priority is $23 due to the package weight (7 lbs.). Please add $2 for insurance.
Canadian bidders: First Class international to Canada is $31.00 U.S..

Europe, UK: shipping is $47.00 U.S. due to the package weight.

Australia shipping is $58.00 U.S. due to the package weight.

Thanks for looking at my auction, and good luck bidding! Feel free to contact me with questions. I am happy to answer any questions you have!
