LED ZEPPELIN IV(2401012)
Top ZEP album from 1971
This is the rare first UK press with A//3 B//4 matrices and MISTY MOUNTAIN TOP mispress
Not in the best of conditions but very playable
The sleeve is in Good condition(lots of edge wear,small sticker tear on the front and a two inch split along the top edge)
The labels side one is in EX condition,side two is in VG condition(light pen mark where someone as written there name)as seen in the picture
The inner is split on all sides(as always)
The vinyl is in surprisingly a very strong EX condition
The audio is mainly EX apart from the first track on both sides(which as rotational surface noise)still a good listen
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
