Description

An original Atlantic Red & Plum Zep II from Xmas 1971. Matrix A5/B4. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original Ernest J day cover. Also included is the original 'plastic bag warning' inner sleeve date coded to Dec 1971 [1271]. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) A beautiful copy that has only seen light use. Under close inspection I could only make out a couple of light marks per side - absolutely nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with a couple of deviations. So, you wanna hear Zep II....the definitive rendition? Well, you definitely need to snag an early red & plum...but whatever you do make sure it's a clean one. Don't think Zep II is forgiving - there's plenty of low-key sections. If it's not clean you won't hear the vocal echoes and Jimmy's intricate guitar work. This copy is isn't perfect - but it's getting close. I can assure you that there really is NO better way to take in those thunderous guitar tracks than on a copy like this. By and large a lovely clean player even in those quiet sections. When "on song" this copy will happily match nearly all the best copies out there. Even fussy tracks like 'Bring It On Home'....play really nice and quiet. Expect a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated moments per side. Deviations - I picked up a couple of ticks during WLL, and then again briefly in the intro to WIAWSNB. Other than that sit back and take it in.. tis easy to see why Zep took the world by storm off the back of Zep II. Don't short change yourself - get a GREAT copy.
Cover (Ex-) A real nightmare trying to find these early covers in top level condition. This example is still impressive and has clearly been looked after. On the front just lightest evidence of ageing and wear - way better than you tend to find. On the rear just a bit of ringwear - which is almost impossible to avoid. The interior is immaculate - very impressive. Edge wear is pretty light and even the openings are still sharp. The spine is looking very nice indeed with just light ageing. Many are deformed or exhibiting a lot of wear. This example remains nice and square with minimal wear. All text still fully legible - sweet! Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
Inner (Vg+) Lightly aged. But no splits.
