Led Zeppelin     "4"   also called "Ruins" or "Zoso"

This is a Korean import vinyl pressing on Coral Records ORG-13 originally issued in 1971.      This might be the only Led Zeppelin album issued on Coral Records in the whole world !!!          It is Stereo and pressed on black vinyl.     The labels are orange with black print.      The side 1 label has a customs stamp on it.          It comes in a single pocket cover that is tinted blue.       The front cover has the hype sticker with song titles printed on the front at bottom left.        The cover is brown inside.        The lyrics to 'Stairway To Heaven" are printed on the back cover.

The songs are the same as a US pressing.

Korean imports are records pressed in South Korea.    They are copied from US albums and pressed by small record companies with no regard for US copyright laws.    These small record companies replace the record number and company logo with theirs, which is printed in Chinese characters.     The labels say 'Made in Korea'.    These were sold to US servicemen stationed in South Korea, who brought them back to the USA.    Then they had to be sold to a used record store before they could be bought by a record collector.    They were pressed in very limited numbers and are hard to find in great condition.      The covers are thin paper and tinted in one color.       The records were pressed on poor quality vinyl and always have some static between the songs.    The labels are always different and many have spelling errors.       The records come in thin paper sleeves.      

These records are for the collector that already has a great copy to listen to, but still wants to add a rare and unusual record to their record collection.   

Overall Condition is : Cover is VG /  Record is VG-

The cover is VG with no writing and no seam splits.         There is ring wear, seam wear, and small stains along the mouth.          The vinyl looks VG- and it plays VG-, with lots of handling marks.      There is light static throughout.        The labels are clean with no spindle marks.       The record comes in a thin inner sleeve.  

About Me :

I started collecting records in 1966.     I started selling records in Goldmine in 1985.      I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby.       And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon.     On Discogs I am 'Fragilerecords'.       My records are from a no smoking and no pets home.      I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.

Packaging :

I take great care on every package and I do each one personally.     I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard.     Each piece is 1/2 inch thick, triple strength industrial cardboard.       Together they are very strong and unbendable.       I always remove the record from the cover and put it in a paper sleeve and seal them both in a clear plastic sleeve.     The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides. 

Postage :  Weight : 1 pound 3 ounces

You have to pay for the postage.     I pre-weigh every package, so that you pay the exact amount the post office charges.   There are NO handling charges.     This record will weigh 19 ounces when ready to ship.      US winners can choose between Media mail or Priority mail.      I will print postage through Paypal and you will get an automatic email with the tracking number.      Overseas winners will get shipping by First Class Mail International.    I will print postage through Paypal and you will get an automatic email with the customs/tracking number.      I will send your record as soon as you pay ( same day if before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM : Monday thru Saturday).
