LED ZEPPELIN III - EX CONDITION

Albums of my youth......

I bought my first album in 1955 and have continued to buy records until

the present day. Unfortunately, none of my family has shown any interest

in any of them so, I have decided to sell some of them. All records will be

cleaned TWICE on my MOTH machine (see photo). This loosens the

majority of the dust particles that have found their way into the grooves

over the years. They are then put into new polythene inners.

The original inners will, of course, be supplied as well.

A polythene outer will also be supplied.

And because, in the past, I've sometimes been disappointed by some

records' condition, each is played and, using a stopwatch, any fault is

noted down. They are then cleaned again and play-checked once again,

as the second clean can sometimes make a difference.

For interested parties, I have owned a Michell Gyrodeck for the last

21 years and cartridges used have been by Denon, Pickering and Shure.

Previous decks have been by Connoiseur and Garrard.

As my Music Fidelity amp has no treble or bass controls I can only

listen to records as, presumably, the recording engineer meant them

to sound. These controls may allow you to lessen or even eradicate

some faults. Speakers, for listening purposes, are original Quad

Electrostatics.

The descriptions are meant to be as accurate as possible but it is

sometimes difficult to explain certain sounds.

Terms: -

t = tick (moderate), v = very, f = faint,

h = heavy (but certainly playable), < = getting louder, > = getting softer,

mt = multiple ticks, (e.g. 2 + 3t) = when an audible scratch stops and starts

again, sw = swish (usually made by a mark which follows the groove)

pf = pressing fault ( a small 'bubble' or 'dent' caused during manufacture

and nothing to do with the user)

Of course, selling this way takes time, so I can only manage a few in any

given period.

STARTING PRICE – This covers the cost of postage and packing only.

Records realising £35 and over will be sent by registered post, over £50,

insured, both at no extra charge to the winning bidder. Records payed

for by Sunday night will be posted on Monday. Other winning bidders

must pay within 3 days. These will be posted on Wednesday/Thursday.

Proof of postage will be obtained.

PLEASE NOTE – PAYPAL ONLY

RETURNS – are accepted and a full refund given if returned in the

condition they left me, but please, email me first if there is something

wrong and, if you don't like what you read, please don't bid.

Descriptions can sometimes look quite terrifying but, so far, there's

been nothing more than what is usually accepted as 'normal',

well-cared-for wear and tear.

POSTAGE AND PACKING – records will be sent first class in

custom-made 'cruciform' boxes with stiffeners.

EU and REST OF THE WORLD – the same terms apply as to the UK

excepting that start prices are £4.50 and £6 respectively.
