Hi, I started collecting vinyl Lp's and 45's in 1971, I have 20,000 + which I have moved now 4 times, and about to move again next year. So it's time to let at least half go. Most are in at least Excellent condition.  I can't listen to them all, so most will only have visual grading, any with a high start price, I will listen too, and play grade.

ALBUM INFO:

This is their eight studio album on SWANSONG in August 1979 the 1st PRESS of LED ZEPPELIN's Last Studio Album....LED ZEPPELIN :- In Through the Out Door......I have rarely seen a better vinyl looks unplayed. With A4/B2  Matrix Numbers . With letter B at the top of the spine of the sleeve, these were to identify which cover photo. Zeppelin fans could not see the sleeve, due to the custom made Brown Paper Bag. Originally there were 6 sleeves to collect A to F, one of the first record company tricks to extract more cash from the hard core Led Zep fans. The sleeve was only available on the earliest of presses as the latter covers are all "A". To find an MINT cover on this version is Rare! 35 years old now.  The Brown Bag is as Near to Mint as you can find, all the other parts are MINT! The album has a different  feel to the rest of their catalogue, recorded just after the loss of Robert Plant's son Karac, who sadly died of a mystery virus, he and his sister appeared on the cover of Houses of the Holy.   In 1979 most people owned the old fashion type of Radio Grams, I don't need to tell you how many Lp's got scratched and ruined by heavy weighted arms and metal needles.  This is the ORIGINAL UK 1st PRESS version... So hard to find in any playable condition, as they have been squirrelled away in collections or worse thrown away, Nearly all copies that turn up have terribly worn Covers, mostly with the owners name written on them. I believe that there are very few better rock albums, you would be hard pushed to find better.   

The Unique sleeve is unlaminated front and back without any Major creasing, NO WRITING OR MARKS. The Vinyl is  MINT. 1 play only! An opportunity to own a Mega Rare true rock classic.

VINYL VISUAL: 

MINT : - . The vinyl is still bright and shows no signs of being played. I placed the record in an anti static bag from new. 

SLEEVE & BROWN BAG:

Mint .  Look at the photo's with a MINT  Wonderfully clean Unlaminated sleeve, The outer Brown Paper Bag, remarkable consider it's age,  has no splits or tears. please look at the photos the cover is prone to wear due to the complex assembly of the rotating wheel, which is still working. Hard to think it's 35 years old! it's in great shape. (Back) somehow it has survived without picking up any staining or writing, as a lot of albums have owners names in biro on them, rare in this condition as they were not cheap at the time at £3.+ the average wage being £35 at the time. Most copies were played to death. This Sleeve is in amazing condition.   

INNER SLEEVE:

MINT. Original Thick Card type, ...with water activated painting on the actual card. being the very fragile inner sleeve is a great indicator of the amount of usage the album has had. I would say the inner is the best you could find! and considering how fragile these are there, Mint.....they are 44 years old, quite unbelievable intact condition.  

LABELS:

Clean, no spindle marks, no damage or writing    

GRADING SYSTEM: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.

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, discoloration, 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.

PAYMENT:

Items must be payed for within five days. If non payment within five days, I will then instigate an Ebay ruling. I will set up a dispute and either offer it to the runner up bidder or relist.
