Description
Hello, I am a long-time eBay seller - since October, 1999. I have a 100% feedback record, so bid and buy with confidence. I have collected records for many years and every record I offer comes from my personal collection. The grade I specify for the vinyl is based upon a playback as well as a visual inspection. The grade I assign for the cover and inserts (if any) is based upon a close visual inspection. My grading standards are conservative - I believe that it does no one any good to inflate the grade of the record only to have the buyer be disappointed upon receipt and wish to return it. I offer a full, no-questions-asked return policy on every record I sell except in very rare circumstances. In those rare cases, I clearly state the condition of the record and explain why I cannot accept a return on it.
For sale today is Mobile Fidelity's 1981 remastering issue of Led Zeppelin's second album. If you collect MFSL issues, you know what a high quality product they made back in the 1980s (a tradition which continues today). As to condition, most importantly, the vinyl is in Mint Minus or Near Mint condition - it looks brand new with a sharpness to the grooves and a high gloss shine. I only played it one time to ensure its quality, and the sound is amazing. The record plays perfectly - no warps, no pops, no clicks, no skips, no sticks, no marks of any kind.
As to the labels, the white label for Side One is in similar Near Mint condition. The white label for Side Two has a minor issue in that there is a very light, small partial fingerprint on the "II" notation on the label (see photo). Not a distraction but I mention it for completeness.
The record comes with its original outer sleeve, with all inserts as issued. I grade the outer cover sleeve as Excellent. It looks and "feels" brand new - the gatefold opens up with a crispness like it has never been opened before. However, there are a couple of minor condition issues with it as follows. The upper right corner has a small push, and there is a small white line near the left bottom area (see photos - the white line is a defect that came with the album, it is not damage). Also, there is an area on the back side of the outer cover which has a bubble appearance - this is a manufacturing defect with the cover, not damage (see photo). All inserts are in Near Mint condition, including the original inner sleeve.
Thanks for looking.
