Description
The records that I offer for sale have been critically play-graded, at loud volume, on a Rega Planar 3 turntable fitted with an Elys cartridge. I will only sell records that play to a high standard. Any significant playing defects will be detailed in the description below. I know how disappointing it is to receive a record graded as excellent, only to find that listening pleasure is spoiled by endless pops, loud clicks and intrusive background crackle. I guarantee that you will not buy such a record from me!!
The winning bidder can expect to receive a clean record, carefully packaged, with the vinyl removed from the inner and outer sleeves to prevent splits in transit.
Here for auction is a TOP QUALITY EXAMPLE of the first album by LED ZEPPELIN simply titled “LED ZEPPELIN”, Catalogue Number 588 171. This is an ORIGINAL 1969 STEREO UK PRESSING on the PLUM / ORANGE ATLANTIC LABEL with WARNER BROS. CREDITS on the labels. EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND IN THIS STUNNING CONDITION!!!
The fully laminated sleeve, printed by MacNeill Press Ltd. is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. The front and back covers are UNMARKED apart from a few light creases. There is only minor age discoloration. There is virtually no edgewear. The corners are nice and square with only the lightest of wear (slight bump to the bottom opening corner). The spine is SQUARE AND SOLID with all text CLEARLY LEGIBLE. There are absolutely no rips, stickers or writing!!
The record sits flat and true on the turntable and retains much of its original lustre. Visually in EXCELLENT CONDITION with only a few very light surface marks which are of no audio significance. The BEAUTIFUL PLUM/ORANGE LABELS show only light spindle traces and are otherwise UNMARKED. I am confident that the record has not been played many times.
PLAYGRADE ASSESSMENT:
Both sides play SUPERBLY with ALL FREQUENCIES CRYSTAL CLEAR. This is a particularly vibrant recording which SOUNDS SENSATIONAL played at high volume!! I always marvel at the quality of these original Atlantic pressings. The amount of information contained in these loud-cut grooves is truly amazing!! I just can’t stress enough how good this sounds. There are NO jumps, pops or loud clicks, and barely any unwanted noise to spoil the listening experience. A better playing copy may prove difficult to find!!
Complete with the CORRECT ORIGINAL poly-lined white inner sleeve which is in very good condition.
DON’T MISS THIS ONE!!!
