All records are graded according the UK Record Collector grading system 2008 with +/- indicating the higher or lower end of the grade.
Cover; M-
Fully laminated glossy cover Atlantic De Luxe printed by EJ Day Group London & Bedford. Full, vibrant colours just as you would have bought it from the shop back in 1970. The glossy white cover is completely unaged with no unsightly yellowing. No stains, writing, tears, rubbing, ringwear etc. Spine is perfect and text fully legible. Square corners apart from the tiniest of rubs to front right corner. Inside GF in immaculate MINT condition. No wear to edges. Wheel is fully working with minimal feathering of opening edge. Must be one of the very best 1st press covers available for this album. I really don’t think you will ever find better.
Vinyl; NM (visual)
No warps, scratches etc. The lightest of superficial scuffs on side 1 last track (Out On The Tiles) can be seen only when angled to bright light. However this is guaranteed to be completetly non-soundng. Otherwise, just a few wispy removal lines. Beautiful, jet black sheen on this thick (144 g) slab of vinyl.
‘Do what thou wilt’ & ‘So Mote it Be’ hand etched in the run-offs either side.
M- (audio)
Problem free run-ins on both sides. This has only been played a handful of times ever. Plays through VERY cleanly with superb dynamics. This plays very loud indeed. There is absolutely nothing unwanted on this vinyl at all. Extremely well produced and pressed this album has excellent dynamics with a crisp top end and very full bottom. Would prove impossible to beat.
Labels; M- both nice and clean. Full vibrant colours.
Inner; M- Correct blue labelling ´Plastic bags can be dangerous' inner with date stamp´(10/70) in bottom right corner.
Other info; A perfect companion copy to the MINT UK 1st press ´Livin Lovin Wreck` copy of Led Zeppelin II also on offer.
Terms and conditions –PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Payment to be made within 48 hours of auction end. I only accept payment by Paypal - no surcharges apply to these payments.
Record will be removed from original inner and placed inside separate inner and packaged outside of sleeve to prevent knifing in transit. I reuse cruciform boxes etc and stiffeners/bubblewrap for P & P purposes. As a buyer of vinyl myself (see my feedback) you can rest assured that records will be very well packaged to make sure the item reaches you in the condition it leaves me. I take lots of extra photos for full peace of mind for both parties and want you to be as happy with the item as I have been. This is a heavy item (registration or full insurance is mandatory) and is expensive to post from Denmark. However, if you win more than one item postage will be considerably cheaper.
Postage and packing costs

REGISTRATION of parcel costs UK 8 pounds extra – this does not provide full insurance. FULL INSURANCE costs UK 10 pounds extra. I will not accept responsibility for items that are lost or damaged in the post – so your choice. Finally, these costs are for postage only and are set by the Danish Postal Service. If you don’t like them please don’t bid. Please expect to allow 4-5 working days for delivery after item is posted by me.
For peace of mind I will give a refund on this item minus all postage costs if item condition differs significantly from my description (so please read properly). Please get in touch to discuss before just deciding to post –ve feedback as honest mistakes do happen sometimes).
Please e-mail with any questions BEFORE you bid and I will try and answer as quickly as possible.
