LED ZEPPELIN

“II”

 (1969 ATLANTIC RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING)

ON OFFER HERE IS A RARE UK FIRST PRESSING OF LED ZEPPELIN’S SECOND ALBUM ON THE RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL. THIS RARE ALBUM FEATURES “THE LEMON SONG” CREDIT ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS ATLANTIC 588198

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE 588198 A62 / 588198 B62

THE SLEEVE

THE UN-LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME WEAR AND DISCOLOURATION TO FRONT AND BACK.  THERE IS SCUFFING TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS. INSIDE THE GATFOLD THERE IS SOME DAMAGE WHERE IT APPEARS THE TWO HALVES GOT STUCK TOGETHER AT SOME TIME.

THE VINYL

THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO THERE IS A SMALL AREA OF THE RIM (AT 6 0’CLOCK) WHICH IS MISSING - DUE TO A FACTORY MIS-PRESS. SO LONG AS YOU CUE UP CAREFULLY THIS DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY AT ALL AND THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF RUN-IN. OTHERWISE THERE ARE SOME LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS AND SCUFFS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT - I NEVER GET BORED OF THIS WONDERFUL RECORD - FANTASTIC. 

THE LABELS

THE RED & PLUM ATLANTIC LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.

THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
