CONDITION
SLEEVE: (EX) NON LAMINATED UK GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH VERY LIGHT WEAR. SOME RUBBING TO THE CORNERS AND A SMALL STICKY STAIN TO THE FRONT NEAR THE OPENING EDGE WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AND COULD PROBABLY BE PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED. A COUPLE OF STAINS TO THE BACK NEAR THE TOP. THE INSIDE LOOKS UNTOUCHED. NO WRITING. NO STICKERS NO RIPS & NO SPLITS.
SPINE: (EX+) THE SPINE SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR (IF ANY) WITH SOME RUBBING TO THE CORNERS .
INNER: (VG-) ORIGINAL THICK PAPER SLEEVE WITH PRINTED LYRICS FOR STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS GENERALLY VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT CREASING AND STAINING TO THE FRONT (NOTHING SERIOUS) AND EACH EDGE HAS A 1" SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE. THESE SPLITS ARE JUST STARTING SO WITH CARE COULD BE PREVENTED FROM GETTING BIGGER - I ALWAYS PUT VINYLS IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE.
LABELS: (EX+) BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY UNWANTED WRITING & STICKERS AND ONLY HAVE A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS CLOSE TO THE CENTRE HOLE. (SEE PICTURES).
VINYL VISUALLY: SIDE 1 (EX+) SIDE 2 (EX) BOTH SIDES ARE COMPLETELY FLAT & GLOSSY AND HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER. WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT YOU CAN ONLY SEE A FEW VERY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES (MORE ON SIDE 2). YOU SIMPLY DON'T FIND THIS VINYL IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!
PLAYING GRADE: (EX+) BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES ON A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS WITH A SHURE WHITE LABEL CARTRIDGE & STEREO NEEDLE & BOTH SIDES PLAY AT LEAST EXCELLENT WITH THE MAJORITY PLAYING EXCELLENT PLUS IF NOT HIGHER!!! OCCASIONAL LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE/STATIC NOTICEABLE IN PLACES DURING THE QUIETER MUSIC AND GAPS IN THE MUSIC. MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! IF THIS VINYL WERE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY MACHINE CLEANED THEN IT MIGHT PLAY EVEN BETTER!! I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL AND MY PLAY GRADE IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT I CAN HEAR ON BEYER-DYNAMIC DT-150 HEADPHONES WITH THE TREBLE TURNED UP FULL! EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION ESPECIALLY AS A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESSING! THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS SIMPLY AWESOME AND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY DIGITAL REMASTER OR VINYL REPRESSING. A STUNNING COPY OF AN INCREASINGLY RARE LED ZEPPELIN CLASSIC NOT TO BE MISSED!!
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION!!
DON`T MISS OUT ON THIS!!
GRADING
All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.
M (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 lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EX (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.
VG (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.
G (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.
F (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.
