Another from my personal collection. I own all of the UK Led Zeppelin albums and I have most of the UK variations that I know of. This being their last Led Zeppelin album released over 40 years ago ! I own all six variations of this album and was thinking of listing all six at once, but due to the lack of time, recording and listening to them. Here is the D series Cover variation of this album! This album was originally only ever played a handfulof times only and then to record to tape and then stored in a case with the vinyl separated from the sleeve and cover for protection. This is how I have always stored my records. This is an early 1st UK variation so rare to find this mega early variation -A5 -B4/5 hand etched matrix endings variation with "STRAWBERRY" Stamped (Master pressers signature on Both sides) . rarely seen in this awesome condition after 40 years. The audio is absolutely stunning through out! On initial inspection the vinyl looks barely ever played in my opinion just minimal two or three very feint visable spider marks around the spindle hole.! So rich and vibrant it nearly shook the house down. Note: Please allow for isolated static type crackle/tick heard during some quieter intro places only, common on these pressings. (Note: Alowances must be made for these late seventies pressings ticks and pops are common caused due to the nature of the way that the vinyl was supplied in a card record sleeve. Dirt and grit trapped in the sleeve caused surface scratches which is why I now and have done for forty odd years, stored my vinyls seperately from the sleeves and covers.) The original 1st issue un- laminated cover has no splits or tears and in top condition graded near mint. This is complete with the original 1st issue record sleeve and serated paper cover!

In Through the Out Door is the eighth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin and their last album to be released during their career.
It was recorded over a three-week period in November and December 1978 at ABBA's Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, and released by Swan Song Records on 15 August 1979.
In Through the Out Door was the band's eighth and final studio release to reach the top of the charts in America, and was the last released by the band before the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980.
The album is a reflection of the personal turmoil that the band members had been going through before and during its recording.
For example, frontman Robert Plant and his wife had gone through a serious car accident, and their young son, Karac Plant, died from a stomach illness.
All four band members also felt weary of dealing with record companies and other associates. Despite this, the release wound up being a huge commercial success, particularly in the United States (sitting at the #1 slot on Billboard's chart in just its second week on the chart).
The album was named by the group to describe its recent struggles amidst the death of Robert Plant's son Karac in 1977, and the taxation exile the band took from the UK.
The exile resulted in the band being unable to tour on British soil for over two years, and trying to get back into the public mind was therefore like "trying to get in through the 'out' door."
In contrast to previous Led Zeppelin albums, In Through the Out Door features much greater influence on the part of bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones and vocalist Robert Plant, and relatively less from drummer John Bonham and guitarist Jimmy Page.
Two songs from the album—"South Bound Saurez" and "All My Love"—were the only two original Led Zeppelin songs that Jimmy Page had no part in writing.
With the exception of "Darlene," a boogie-woogie based song credited to all band members (which was eventually released on the 1982 album, Coda), Bonham did not receive writing credits for any of the songs recorded at Polar Studios.
This diminished input by Page and Bonham is attributed to the two band members often not showing up on time at the recording studio, with Bonham struggling with alcoholism and Page battling heroin addiction.
Many of the songs were consequently put together by Plant and Jones during the day, with Page and Bonham adding their parts late at night.

The labels.
The original Swan Song labels are in awesome condition! (These looks superb in my opinion)! Amaizingly I can just see barely a handful of feint spider marks/trails only, even when angled to the light and of coarse little if (no) spindle ware the hole is perfectly round. This has only ever been played a minimal amount of times only from new when I initially purchased it and one time to play grade for this listing. So rare for an album that is 40 years old! Impossible to find like this! very very collectable!
The vinyl
The vinyl is absolutely superb! On initial visual inspection this looks like new and still retains its sheen from new! (please note this vinyl has only ever been played barely a handful of times times by me personally and I originally played this to record to tape! In the last 40 years this has been stored in a case with the vinyl separated from the sleeve and cover to prevent ring ware and damage. This is how I have always stored my records, and of course I played this again to play grade at very loud volume on a top system! In fact even when I look at the playing surface angled to a strong light I find it hard notice no more than a handful of whispy surface marks. Any other marks that could possible be seen when angled in strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal type only (common with this album) which is why I seperated them to preserve the condition.
The Audio Quality
I have played this through track for track prior to listing at very very loud volume on a top system! The moment the needle hits the playing surface it is obvious this vinyl has barely ever been played at all! The audio quality is as you would expect when purchased new, superbe, TOP, TOP, TOP! cristal clear and extremely vibrant through out in fact this plays truly superb This played through superb unbelievable audio seperation Any interferance was minimal in my opinion Note: some isolated static type tick noted, and isolated static crackle may be heard in between some tracks common on these mid seventies pressings and probably due to needing a constant cleaning before each play to reduce this. This vinyl has been stored separately from the cover in a poly sleeve for over 40 years! This is the way I always have stores my records! The vibrancy of the audio on this pressing in my opinion is almost as good as it gets for a very early 1st issue variation! I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl so hard to find tlike this, barely played 40 year old vinyl! Please check my completed listings of records that i have sold of this quality and you will see that i normally get it right! I would grade the audio at least excellent plus to near as mint for the most part / main audio through out! (note: please allow for isolated static type tick/crackle as mentioned previously heard in isolated quiet places only common on these seventies pressings)
Please note! That i always make this disclaimer! Allowances must be made for these mid seventies pressings. Dirt and grit trapped in between the card record sleeve and record causes surface scratches. Please allow for the odd isolated static/ pops/ticks heard as mentioned previously, certainly not consistent throughout the audio. This is a genuine 40 year old vinyl that would have originally been played on a 40 year old system! Genuinly only ever played two or three times ever!
Points to note! This has been stored in a case laying dormant for at least 40 years! A build up of dirt and dust in the grooves from laying dormant causes static crackle\ticks! A constant clean before each play is recommended ! This would reduce any static and enhance the audio quality!
The Record Sleeve
This is the original thick card type cardboard lyric record sleeve, Note Textured (only 1st issues) later issues are smooth. Generally very clean and straight. Note: There is light foxing/finger marks that can be seen noted on one side of the sleeve, only really noticed if looked for in my opinion . No edge splits or tears!
The Cover
This is the original and earliest 1st UK issue un-laminated B Series variation cover! (No Barcode) This is absolutely superbe brilliant and clean! On initial inspection this looks as new Near Mint condition in my opinion! Rare to find in this awesome condition No nasty creases to mention! , Note: A very minor crease noted just barely noticed only if looked for on the front top left corner. NO real rubbing or indents or edge lines noted (See Photos) The spine is absolutely square and all text readable. Truly remarkabel for nearly 39 years old! JUST TRY TO FIND A BETTER ORIGINAL 1st UK type D ISSUE! I would grade the cover at least excellent plus to very near as mint No splits or tears.
The Bag Cover
There is no splits or tears! This is the original st issue with serated top edge. There are no edge splits or tears. Always stored separately from the cover and vinyl.
