    'Following the staggering reunion triumph at the O2, which I was lucky enough to be at, with interest in Led Zeppelin greater than ever, with the site for the Ahmettribute.com tribute concert receiving an unbelievable 120 million hits, with 25 million people apparently registering for a Zeppelin ticket, its as good a time as any to invest in an original copy early press of this classic Zep album.'

This is an exceptional copy in very clean condition, that plays great from start to finish.   You will be very hard pressed to find a PLUM copy of Zep II that plays with such power and clarity!

ALBUM PLAYED FOR AUDIO GRADING:

Yes – brilliant! - EXCELLENT PLUS sound quality throughout!

This great record plays up to the high visual grading and beyond. It plays with Incredibly Powerful and clear sound, with no grove wear or blurring of the sound separation; incredibly rare on an original Plum pressing! 

Great audio with minimal interference to distract form the overly enjoyment of this great record and only light surface or static between the tracks.

Strong, undistorted sound free of any loud pops or clicks. Channels are clean and unstressed. The record plays with staggering power, with minimal surface sound during the tracks.

This is  a very rare PLUM copy of Zep II. The music jumps out, with definition and clarity, particularly on the percussion instruments, and vocals which come through with tremendous power. Its  the same with the bass guitar and drums, whilst the guitars come through crisp and clear.

Fantastic Clear Audio, this album plays with little background noise or static.  I noticed some static at the start of 'Whole Lotta Love', but nothing to take away from the great sound of this classic vinyl. The tracks sound great, with 'What is and What Could Never Be' blasting out with amazing clarity!

This is a  very rare clear example and a pleasure to listen too. 

A great all round example of this great  vinyl

This really is a staggering first stereo mix, unlike the re-issues which lack the impact.    

THE RECORD – VISUAL GRADING - EXCELLENT 

A lovely piece of glossy vinyl. It does have some faint hairlines, but the are very light and have virtually no effect on the sound. A really wonderful example.

THE COVER – EXCELLENT

These thin Un Laminated Zep II card covers are notoriously prone to damage, with serious ring wear and destruction to the edges. The Spines are nearly always flattened, worn and un readable. Not this one!

There is some light scuffing to the corners, and light rubbing along the edges, but it is light. The opening edges are very square and totally un frayed.  The white areas are very white, with no hardly any blemishes and just a couple of tiny creases on the back. The back cover is nice and clean, with very little ring wear, which is very unusual for these delicate covers.

There is some  spine creasing, but nothing very serious. The Spine does show some light wear only, and the spine text is intact. The Inner Gatefold is clean and unmarked.

A great solid example. All round, this is a really nice cover!!!   

VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING:

Yes, NONE visible what so ever when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.        

THE LABELS -  EXCELLENT  CONDITION

Both labels are in great condition and carry the Warner Brothers / Jewel Music Publishing credit. Famous PLUM labels are Superb, with no marks or writing, and no discernible spindle wear. Only some light spindle traces can be found, and they are light!

 Great all round deep coloured examples, wonderful!

THE INNER

VERY GOOD PLUS condition, original plain white paper inner. NO tears , NO wear at the top. 

The vinyl will of course come with a replacement poly lined inner to protect the original.

RARITY

A PLUM PRESS copy in this type of condition is scarce. The vinyl is so often played so much, heavily marked, scratched, with noisy, poor and distorted sound. Any EARLY UK PRESS examples with a record in this type of condition, that plays practically great, is very rare.

The cover is almost impossible to find without serious wear, even modestly worn examples are scarce and this one is one of the better examples. Finding a nice cover like this, with a stunning piece of vinyl, fantastic!.

PLUM pressings are infinitely more rare than the later orange and green labels, but finding copies that sound great is a real challenge.

THIS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN EXTREMELY RARE PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY, WITH A WONDERFUL RICH SOUND THAT IS NOW GETTING SERIOUSLY HARD TO FIND.

  NO TEARS, NO WRITING, NO STICKERS, NO SEAM SPLITS, NO JUMPS OR STICKS - GUARANTEED!

SCRUPULOUS EXAMINATION and TESTING; PLEASE NOTE:

This record has been play tested to ensure the sound quality and accuracy of description. I aim to give a precise and concise description of the sound quality, pointing out any defects so that you know what you are bidding on. I will not go into screeds of information about nature of the songs, as I imagine that you already know them well. I aim to describe all items as accurately as possible, and offer a full refund on return if for any reason you are not completely happy with the item description.

.

VINYL SOUND - Please Note: 

Top quality vinyl with clear sound is rare, and is what I always aim for. Even with the cleanest copies you will find occasional static sound during playback, caused by a build of dust in the grooves. This is clearly different from the distortion, loud pops or clicks that are found on heavily played and worn pieces of vinyl. Any static build up will reduce when played, and I advise a light clean should be given between plays for optimal performance.

MY RECORD GRADING SYSTEM IS AS FOLLOWS - (BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE U.K. )

MINT: Virtually unplayed. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristine.

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.

V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.

V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

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, etc.

FAIR: Fair. It is noticeable that the record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated very noticeably. The cover and contents are showing signs of folding, scuffing of edges etc.
