WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A 26 YEAR OLD, RARE PROMOTIONAL ALBUM OF THE LGENDARY ROCK BAND - LED ZEPPELIN, RARELY PLAYED AND WELL LOOKED AFTER. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ULTRA RARE MASTERPIECE AND I THEREFORE WISH YOU LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING.

I HAVE COLLECTED AND BOUGHT AND SOLD RECORDS THROUGH CAR BOOT SALES AND RECORD COLLECTOR FOR 35 YEARS. I AM AWARE THAT MOST LED ZEPPELIN FANS HAVE EVERY MAINSTREAM ALBUM EVER PRESSED WITHIN THEIR COLLECTION. HOWEVER, ONLY A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE CAN BOAST HAVING THIS GEM ON THEIR SHELF. IT IS SO RARE, I COULDN'T EVEN FIND INFORMATION ON THE NET AS TO ITS EXISTANCE AND AS SUCH, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PRICE AS A BUY IT NOW ITEM. I THEREFORE EXPECT A STRONG BATTLE FROM BIDDERS TO ADD THIS MISSING RECORD TO THEIR COLLECTION AND TO THEREBY POSSESS A TRUE INVESTMENT THAT WILL GIVE JOY FOR YEARS TO COME.

NOT ONLY IS THIS ALBUM AN ASTONISHING FIND BUT THE TRACK LIST OPITOMISES ZEPPELIN IN THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS AND LISTENERS WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

 THE BAND

LED ZEPPELIN RANK AS ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL ROCK BANDS, IF NOT OVERALL BANDS, THAT EVER EXISTED. THEY WERE THE FIRST BAND TO SELL OUT TO SPORTS STADIUM CROWDS WITH THEIR INCREDIBLE SOUND THAT ENCOMPASSES MANY GENRES THAT INCLUDE: ROCK, ROCK N ROLL, METAL, BLUES, BALADS AND FOLK. THEIR MUSIC IS TRULY TIMELESS AND CONTINUALLY INVENTIVE, LEAVING THE FAN GUESSING AS TO WHAT THE NEXT ALBUM HAS IN STORE FOR THEM. SURVIVING MEMBERS STILL PERFORM TODAY AS THEY CONTINUE TO REINVENT THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO CONTINUE ENTERTAINING.

TRACK LIST

SIDE 1: SICK AGAIN, NOBODY'S FAULT BUT MINE, SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU

SIDE 2: ACHILLES LAST STAND, THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE, HEY HEY WHAT CAN I DO

SIDE 3: STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT, OUT ON THE TILES

SIDE 4: ROCK "N" ROLL, WHOLE LOTTA LOVE, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

ALL TRACKS ON SIDES 1, 2, 3 RECORDED LIVE IN CLEVELAND 1977 (EXCEPT HEY HEY WHAT CAN I DO WHICH WAS A STUDIO OUTTAKE). ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 4 RECORDED LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA 1985.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

ARDENT FANS WILL NO DOUBT BE AWARE OF THE TRACKS OF THIS AMAZING ALBUM, BUT AS AN EXTRA SERVICE, I HAVE INCLUDED SHORT EXCERPTS FROM EACH TRACK FOR YOU TO GET A FEEL FOR THE MUSICAL TALENT OF THIS TRULY GREAT BAND. PRESS THE PLAY BUTTON BELOW TO BE BLOWN AWAY BY THE TALENT AND THE QUALITY OF THIS TIMELESS MASTERPIECE.

LABELS

HOPEFULLY, THE PHOTOS WILL SHOW THE AMAZING CONDITION OF THE, SHINY, CLEARLY LEGIBLE LABELS THAT SHOW VIRTUALLY NO SIGN OF PLAY, AT ALL, ON ALL FOURS SIDES. I THEREFORE CONCLUDE THAT THE LABELS ON ALL SIDES RANK AS MINT-

VINYL

I HAVE PLAYED THE ALBUM ONCE, TO EFFECT SOUND SAMPLES AND I WOULD CONCLUDE IT HAS EXPERIENCED LIMITED, IF ANY, PLAYS PREVIOUSLY. AS SUCH, THE SURFACES ARE VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND HAVE A MAGNIFICANT, AS NEW, SHEEN WITH WISPY HAIRLINES ONLY. HOWEVER, THESE HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE PLAY QUALITY AND I CAN CONCLUDE THAT GIVEN A FURTHER CLEAN WITH PROPRIETRY CLEANING MATERIALS AND TREATED WITH AN ANTI-STATIC GUN, THIS RECORD WILL GRADE, EX+, AT THE VERY LEAST, ON ALL 4 SIDES.

SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES ARE AS NEW WITH VERY LITTLE SIGN OF WEAR, MINIMAL DISCOULOURING AND NEGLIGIBLE CREASING. THE OUTER SLEEVE, WITH IT'S PLASTIC LAMINATE COATING, IS UNFORTUNATELY THE WORST ASPECT OF THIS ITEM. PLEASE EXAMINE THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY TO BE SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING FOR. THE FRONT HAS SIGNS OF CREASING TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. THE SPINE, HOWEVER, HAS REMAINED REASONABLY IN TACT WITH NO SPLITTING OR CRUSHING (SEE PHOTOS). EACH CORNER OF THE SPINE IS UNDERSTANDABLY WORN AND SCUFFED. THE REVERSE HAS A SIMILAR CREASE TOP LEFT AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FINGERNAIL SCRATCH (GIVING RISE TO A LADDER EFFECT) TO THE RIGHT OF THE REAR PICTURE. THE EDGES ON BOTH SIDES ARE A LITTLE SCUFFED WITH SHELF LIFE (SEE PHOTOS). AS SUCH, I WOULD RATE THE OVERALL SLEEVES AS VG.

FREE

AS A GESTURE OF GOODWILL AND A MASSIVE THANKYOU TO THE WINNING BIDDER, I WILL ENCLOSE A CD OF THE ENTIRE ALBUM, FREE OF CHARGE, SO YOU CAN PRESERVE YOUR PRECIOUS VINYL WHILST LISTENING TO YOUR NEW PURCHASE, EITHER IN THE CAR OR VIA YOUR COMPUTER. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CD DOES NOT FORM ANY PART OF THE AUCTION AND IS PROVIDED PURELY AS A GESTURE OF GOOD WILL AND SHOULD IN NO WAY INFLUENCE THE AMOUNT YOU ARE PREPARED TO BID FOR THE LP IN QUESTION.
