History...

Led Zeppelin III is the third studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 5 October 1970. It was recorded in three locations. Much of the work was done at Headley Grange, a country house, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Additional sessions were held at Island Studios and Olympic Studios in London. As with the prior album, the band eschewed the use of guest musicians, with all music performed by band members Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitars), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). The range of instruments played by the band was greatly enhanced on this album, with Jones especially emerging as a talented multi-instrumentalist, playing a wide range of keyboard and stringed instruments, including various synthesizers, mandolin and double bass, in addition to his usual bass guitar. As with prior albums, Page served as producer on the album, with mixing done by Andy Johns and Terry Manning.

The outer gatefold cover is in lovely condition for age! It is still vibrant with no splits or tears, and includes the working turning picture wheel!! Only minimal age wear / dirt/ discolouration to corners edges spine etc as to be expected for an item of this age. Ex -


The vinyl is still beautiful - Has the sought after plum/orange labels and shows 'Do what thow wilt' & 'So mote it be' in the dead wax. It has a retained a glossy sheen in appearance and sits flat to the surface.

Under strong light ultra fine sleeve removal wisps /lines can be seen - but nothing notable to the naked eye! Overall EXCELLENT-


OVERALL AN EXCELLENT- AND SOUGHT AFTER PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR MUSICAL HISTORY COLLECTION!
