Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

Led Zepplin:

Led Zeppelin were a force of nature. Formed in 1968, this British powerhouse revolutionized rock with a sound that fused blues, folk, psychedelia, and thunderous guitar-driven power. With Jimmy Page on guitar, Robert Plant’s mythic vocals, John Paul Jones on bass/keys, and John Bonham’s crushing drums, Zeppelin brought an unmatched intensity to music. From haunting ballads to full-blown rock epics, they created a legacy that shaped hard rock and heavy metal for generations. Their albums weren’t just records—they were cultural events. And when Physical Graffiti dropped, Zeppelin proved once and for all they could conquer both sides of the vinyl.

Led Zepplin - Physical Graffiti:

Physical Graffiti is Led Zeppelin’s sixth studio album and arguably their most ambitious. Sprawling across two LPs, this 1975 release is a monumental work of musical diversity ranging from the fierce groove of “Trampled Under Foot” to the hypnotic majesty of “Kashmir.” It blends outtakes from earlier sessions with new tracks, creating a record that feels both retrospective and forward-looking. Certified 16× Platinum in the U.S., it debuted at No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic and is widely considered one of the greatest double albums ever made. The die-cut sleeve with changing window visuals is legendary in vinyl packaging history which makes it a prized item for collectors. Rolling Stone and countless fans rank it as essential Zeppelin, showcasing the band at full creative power.
