LOVELY EXAMPLE OF EARLIEST UNCORRECTED LABELS, IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS, LOVELY CONDITION, FULLY WORKING SLEEVE ROTATING WHEEL, L@@K.....

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTS Furthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE ( WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPTION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED ) AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO ARE NOT ANY BASIS FOR A REFUND. HOWEVER YOU MAY STILL TRADE WITH CONFIDENCE AS I DO  REFUND  WHEREVER AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS EVER DISPUTED.

 THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCREDIBLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE EARLIEST " PETER GRANT " UNCORRECTED RED/PLUM LABELS WITH NO "HYPHEN" IN THE CAT NUMBER BUT IS ALSO A STUNNING EXAMPLE WITH IT'S FULLY WORKING ORIGINAL LAMINATED ROTATING WHEEL SLEEVE AND IS ALMOST IMPOSIBLE TO FIND ONE OF THESE IN ANYTINGLIKE THIS CONDITION !! 

THE ATLANTIC RED PLUM LABELS ON THIS LP LAST UNTIL EARLY 1972 WHEN KIINEY TOOK OVER FROM POLYDOR IN THE UK AND THEY SWITCHED TO THE GREEN/ORANGE LABELS AND K FOR KINNEY CATALOGUE NUMBERS

AS USUAL WITH LED ZEP THERE WAS AN ERROR MADE WHEN THESE LABELS WERE FIRST PRODUCED, AS YOU CAN SEE BENEATH THE ALBUM TITLE ON THE LABEL THERE IS " PRODUCED BY JIMMY PAGE " AND " EXCUTIVE PRODUCER PETER GRANT "

 THIS WAS SPOTTED AND I UNDERSTAND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED PRE-RELEASE AND PRODUCER CREDIT MOVED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LABELS AND THE PETER GRANT CREDIT REMOVED ALTHOGETHER !! AT THE SAME TIME THE CATALOGUE NUMBER WAS AMENDED FROM 2401002 TO 2401-002

THESE EARLIEST LABELS ARE HIGHLY PRIZED NOW AND HARDLY EVER TURN UP ( JUST LOOK FOR ANOTHER ) BUT NOT ONLY THAT THIS COPY IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A TRUELY TOP EXAMPLE SO DON'T MISS OUT, GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!!

 ITEMS THAT SELL WILL BE BY RECORDED SIGNED FOR DELIVERY WHICH FOR A SINGLE LP IS GBP 3.99 AND FOR A DOUBLE 4.99, THIS IS TO PREVENT ANY FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID!.....FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW - GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….EUROPE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL COSTS ARE USUALLY GBP 8.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND FOR USA/REST OF WORLD IT IS USUALLY GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE AND GBP 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE
