I have just given here a gentle vacuum clean and wow-the audio popped right out!
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 only occasional background noise-more evident on the quieter Thank You track.
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..
NO SKIPS OR STICKS ON MY FOCUS ONE DECK.
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN.
!!!!AS ZEPPELIN WANTED YOU TO HEAR THEM-with some original pops and crackle ;)!!!!

It is the rarest cover-with the GREEN SPINE! These are believed to have only been produced in a small batch of around 1000.

These covers are notorious for light ring wear and this is no different...More evident to the back gatefold. With some corrugation to the panels, but nothing to worry about. There is a 9cm split to the seem to the top of the back panel.
