Description
This LP is in superb condition throughout!!! The Classic Plum/Red 1st Pressing centre labels are in stunning EX+++ condition with NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!!!!! The gramophone rims containing the all important matrix's are also mint!!! The vinyl itself is is great condition NO serious Scratches, No serious scuffing, NO Groovewear, NO warping or blemishes of any kind at all save for a very light superficial waxy (non sounding) scuff on side 2. This is really nothing, but due to the price htat this LP will probably fetch, I want to describe it in the greatest detail possible, so you all know exactly what you are getting for your money. I am very pleased to state that this is a record that also plays as good as it looks with NO jumps, and NO hissing!!! The thick quality pressed chunky 1960's vinyl looks and feels great (it is very heavy!). I would have to grade this vinyl as a very strong EX!!
What can I say about the the classic laminated Macneil UK 1st Press Turquoise-lettered sleeve that you don't already know!!!! These do just not turn up anymore, and on the rare occasions that they do, it is NEVER in this condition, they are usually battered, ripped and torn!!!! This one is not - it does not even have any seam wear!!!! It is also in absolutely beautiful condition with NO Tears, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing, NO Seam Splits or seam wear, NO serious feathering of the opening edge - it is probably one of the best left in existence today!!!! It is completely blemish free!!! The sleeve lies perfectly FLAT with virtually NONE OF THE RING WEAR which is commonly associated with this rare sleeve!!!! It has a good strong spine with just the very occasional and very minor laminate crease coming in from it. It has NO laminate cracking ANYWHERE on the sleeve and just two very small laminate folds (approx 3cm) on the front, but that is it!!!!! It is simply STUNNING!!!! The reverse side is beautiful with NO Tears, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing, it has the most minor lifting partway down the spine (1-2cm width) but NO cracks or folds!!! It's as simple as that - this the best Turquoise Led Zeppelin 1 sleeve you will probably EVER come across. Of course this rare LP comes with its Original and correct 'Made in England' & 'British Patent' poly-lined windowed inner sleeve!

In the 60's & 70's we didn't think to preserve our records, we were too busy being liberated! As such, you will find most of these albums (the few that remain) in very poor condition nowadays. This is due to a number of factors, i.e. age and bad handling/storage methods and general vinyl deterioration, not to mention the amount of parties they've attended! So to find one in such superb condition is a real rarity. What's more, the low starting price and no reserve status gives you a realistic chance of winning and owning this highly sought-after album. For any lover/Collector Led Zeppelin or just classic 60's & 70's Rock LPs in general, this is an absolutely essential album to have in your collection. It is also a true investment for the future as its price of this very rare LP will just rise and rise...

Good Luck! The UK Record Collector Grading System NAME GRADE INFORMATION Mint M Vinyl has just left the vinyl pressing machine and does not have any manufacturing flaws. It has never been handled and never played. Unless you work at the record plant, there is no such thing as mint! Record sleeves just left the pressing machine that made the sleeve. It has never been handled and a record has not been placed inside it which would deform it. Unless you work at the record plant, there is no such thing as mint! Near Mint NM Vinyl is virtually perfect. At most, perhaps a light scuff appears on the record. It should play without any noise or skips of any kind whatsoever. Record sleeve should look close to perfect with only minor signs of wear. The artwork should have no marks of any kind and there should be no "ring wear" (that is, the outline of the record inside should not show through the sleeve). Excellent EX or VG++ Vinyl should play with no skips of any kind. It should sound better than it looks. Often "Excellent" or "VG++" is a conservative version of "Near Mint." Perhaps some very minor surface scuffs, but again no effect on sound quality. Record sleeve might have some minor "ring wear" but otherwise the artwork should be unaffected. There should be no "ink wear" to the artwork. That is areas where the ink has worn down to the paper underneath. Perhaps some minor creases in the corners but no splits in the seams. Very Good Plus VG+ Vinyl will show wear including surface scuffs and some light scratches. Often, minor scuffs will be caused by the inner sleeve rubbing against the vinyl. If held up to a bright light, you will often see many tiny lines on the vinyl. Perhaps a few minor clicks or pops can be heard, but no deep scratches. Record sleeve should be clean, but slightly more aged. Perhaps some very small writing on the sleeve. The corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes popping through. Very Good VG Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well. Surface noise will probably be present including pops and clicks. At good volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present. Flaws should only be heard between tracks or on low volume passages. Record sleeve will look warn and used. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but most of the cover should still be in good condition. Good VG-/G+/G Vinyl looks well played, dull, and possibly not well taken care of. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of record. A rock record may still sound "good" at high volume whereas a slower styles of music will sound terrible. Record sleeve may have many problems including seam splits, writing, taped repairs. However some of the artwork will still be visible. There can't be large tears and gouges in the cover. Fair/Poor F/P Doesn't meet the lowest standards for "good". At this point, the vinyl is difficult to listen to. The only reason to keep it would be due to extreme rarity or to fill a good sleeve until a better copy of the vinyl comes along. Doesn't meet the lowest standards for "good". The sleeve is torn, bent, and shows a very high level of wear. Attempts to tape the sleeve have made it worse. The only reason to keep the sleeve would be due to extreme rarity or to protect a good copy of the vinyl until a better sleeve comes along.
