Description
Feel free to send wants lists for Iranian records / Iranian pressings, I might be able to help.
Clearing a good part of my Iranian collection. As you probably know, records from Iran are extremely rare, specially after many of those records were destroyed following the 1979 islamic revolution. More than 40 years later, not many copies have survived, and not many in good condition. The records we are going to list are seldomly offered for sale, specially in this condition: most in VG+ to EX condition, with rare Picture Sleeves that back then were usually mostly seen as a plain "wrapping" and were just thrown away.
All records have been cleaned in a professional Loricraft PRC-4 record cleaning machine -- this doesn't make miracles (ie fix scratches) but it gives you the best sonic experience by removing dust and dirt stored in the grooves for the last couple of decades.
Bear in mind that even in Near-Mint records the quality of the iranian pressings is sound-wise not Mint most of the times. This is mostly due to the quality of the vinyl used back in the day, dubious sources used for the audio production, and also the fact that they tended to squeeze quite a lot of music on every side (long songs, sometimes over 4.5 minutes, by Persian artists, or EP editions for foreign artists).
Good luck when bidding!
Artist(s): LED ZEPPELIN
Album: III (1970)
Label/Reference: HIT / SHLP - 605
Condition COVER: VG+ to EX. Looks great, a bit of creasing and a bit of mild signs of ageing, faint ringwear on back. SEE PICS.
Condition VINYL: VG+ to EX. Just a few superficial marks, no deep scratches. Looks very clean. The vinyl surface of side B has a bit of marbling, probably due to the pressing -- not affecting play in any way. This one plays LOUD AND GREAT. RARE .
FURTHER COMMENTS: Insanely Rare LP by Led Zeppelin pressed in Iran. Difficult to find in any shape, but in this condition... impossible. Here's your chance! Other Iranian records by Led Zeppelin in the same auction... pretty much everything they released there. You'll never seen these being offered together again, I bet.
