The Vinyl:
HEAVY 141g
 VG-..SOLID.. Being one of my favourite albums of all time-it really wasn't a chore to listen to her through at HIGH volume!!
She has been to a few parties, providing some marks to the vinyl which produce  background noise as well as the odd pop n crackle-more evident on Moby Dick  instrumental and the start of Bring It On Home-which could reduce with a professional clean.
WOW-Superb drums kicking in at the start-magical! And Ooooh, the escalation of the bass line on Ramble On is a joy to listen too..
I found one tiny, tiny skip at the end of Heartbreaker-didn't relly ruin my enjoyment.
Slight edge warp-but again, nothing terrible-I am being very critical.
!!!!AS ZEPPELIN WANTED YOU TO HEAR THEM-with some original pops and crackle ;)!!!!


The Labels: VG. ORIGINAL RED & PLUM labels. Just light wear to the these labels...Please see the images...WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL!
