VINYL VISUAL: VERY GOOD(+); some light hairline scratches + some paper scuffs/sleve removal marks. Looks fine overall. LABELS: Both EXCELLENT. SLEEVE: EXCELLENT(+); the sleeve is a beautiful example. Just some very mild ring wear to the rear and minor wear to the bottom edge. Loks great. SPINE: EXCELLENT; just some very light wear.

RELEASE DETAILS
FROM RECORD COLLECTOR's DECEMBER 2011 ISSUE (No. 396) REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR PRESSINGIn 1969, Warner Bros-Seven Arts was sold to the Kinney National Company. Kinney (later Warner Communications) combined the operations of all of its record labels. The following year, it bought Elektra and its sister label Nonesuch and assembled the labels into Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, WEA for short or Warner Music Group.
In early 1972 the distribution of Atlantic in the UK was switched from Polydor to the newly formed Kinney set up under the WEA banner. All catalogue numbers were changed to a simple 'K' prefix and number with Led Zeppelin IV taking on the new catalogue number K50008 with green and orange labels.
Of note to collectors here is Atlantic K50008 (this copy) with green/orange labels, second pressing, first labels, transitional stamper. This pressing has dual matrix numbers (both the first pressing 2401012 and later K50008 matrix numbers are in the run-out grooves). The four symbols are omitted from the label. Misty Mountain Hop is again 'Misty Mountain Top'.

PAYMENT & CHECKOUTI can accept payment via Paypal or Skrill (Moneybookers). If you wish to pay via Skrill, please just ask for an invoice.
Please remember that your bid is binding.
I politely ask that all winning buyers please make payment within a maximum of 5 days after the end of the auction/sale date. If you are intending on bidding on other items that I have for sale, then please just send me a message so I do not assume that you are not going to pay me. If you do not keep me informed then I reserve the right to cancel your bids and make a Second Chance Offer to non-winning bidders.
I also reserve the right to cancel bids from buyers whose previous feedback ratings are poor.
GRADING
All of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself.
I will never grade a used record as Mint as I do not believe that a second hand record ever truly can be. Therefore, if I grade as Near Mint or Excellent(+) then you can assume that is as near to Mint or Archive quality as I believe it can be. Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.
I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.
I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.
POSTAGE / SHIPPING
I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.
For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.
As a general rule, shipping within the UK will be free and shipping for overseas buyers discounted.
Shipping rates quoted are valid up to a total sale value of £2500 within the UK and £500 for overseas buyers.
Overseas buyers please note that any item or items with a total value of £25 or more will be sent by International Signed For with no exceptions. Please ask for a quote or wait for my invoice if the final sale is more than £500.
CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR OVERSEAS ORDERS: Please note that for overseas orders from outside the EU I am obliged to complete a customs declaration and must enter the true value of the package's contents on the declaration. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to ensure that all import duties are known and paid.
Please send me a message if anything is unclear and I will be happy to help.
RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
