Led Zeppelin ?– Led Zeppelin II

This record is in excellent- condition. It has a few faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show only minor wear and are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with just the light spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and have nothing really serious or deep visible in normal light but there is some incredibly light sleeve 'scuffs' and a few areas of groove wear on side 1. These are all faint and pretty minor but are a sign of use and can be seen in normal light. These and some more incredibly light wispy lines are visible under very bright light but nothing deep or overly sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty deep marks or blemishes, has a lovely vivid lustre and overall is in nice condition but does have very faint light lines and patches of groove wear as mentioned.

I play tested the record and it played well overall with nice clarity and no skips, sticks or seriously disruptive ticks. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement noticeable. The vast majority of the audio is very clear with only minor traces of surface noise in places. Side 2 plays with strong EX audio throughout and nothing to report other than minor surface noise in the run in and very occasionally a hint in the audio. Side 1 is much the same but this has the few areas of groove wear or thin lines as mentioned above. These cause a couple of ticks followed by a pop in the early parts of track 2 with a few other very quiet noises towards the end. The other groove wear also causes a few light noises when it plays through but there is no skipping and no noise that is really nasty or hugely disruptive. Overall the audio combined on both sides is a solid EX in my opinion but I have graded at EX- due to the visual and few light noises on side 1.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some age related wear to the edges and corners but the text along the spine is still legible. There are no splits anywhere and the sleeve as a whole is still strong and solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and inside the gatefold is clean, bright and in great shape. There is some light fading and ring marks showing on the rear. There is also a touch of fading to the front and a really faint sticker removal mark in the top right corner. Overall it is a strong and a decent example with no major issues just some light general wear. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains its original plain white inner which is in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but some very slight creasing and minor ring marks.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a swift delivery.
