Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy - original 1973 vinyl album

	£		20
	$		26

I have been a music fan and vinyl enthusiast since the early 1970s and I am selling a large range of records covering a very wide variety of musical styles. They are all authentic original pressings, featuring quality music mostly from the 1970s and 1980s.
They have all been very well cared for, though I will give an honest appraisal of their condition and will put up plenty of photos of the actual items for sale so you can see exactly what you are bidding on. I endeavour to highlight anything in the description which I would want to be made aware of before deciding to place a bid, so I aim to grade thoroughly and honestly.
All these records are deep cleaned using a professionally constructed wet vacuum system using only the highest purity record cleaning fluids so the vinyl is all very clean, glossy and dust free. Everything listed is, at the very least, very thoroughly test played, (minimum of at least 4-5 tracks across both sides) though almost always played right through on a quality deck and I apply high standards to my vinyl and would never list a record that I would not be perfectly happy to have in my own cherished record collection. In the case of rare or particularly interesting vinyls, I may list records which may fall short in some way of my usual standards, but this would always be very clearly highlighted in the descriptions.
I visually inspect every record under very bright light using an inspection lamp.
A note regarding the most important matter of all - the audio - as with all vinyl, even straight out of the cellophane, there can be light crackle or very light 'pops' during the quiet passages. I have listened carefully, at the very least in part, to all these records, so I will highlight in the descriptions any aspects of the audio playback which I consider to be outside the parameters of the very high standards I apply to my own listening. Please be assured that I would never sell 'fried breakfasts', only high quality records.
All records will be supplied to you in a good quality clear outer wallet to protect your sleeves.

Led Zeppelin - 'Houses of the Holy' - original 1973 vinyl album in excellent condition. The matrix reads K50014 A2 / B2.
The vinyl is in very good condition with only very light superficial hairlines visible in bright light. I am listening to the record as I type this and the audio is absolutely excellent, really crisp and clear and producing all of the richness and depth characteristic of the music delivered from the source of high quality vinyl. ***PLEASE NOTE*** I have played this magnificent album right through several times over the past days and the only playback issue is a few clicks to the track 'No Quarter', barring that, a little light audible crackle during the infrequent quiet passages, but this album delivers an excellent sound.
The labels have been ID'd with a tiny little silver mark by the previous owner.
The unmistakable 'MacNeill Press' gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition with just very light wear commensurate with age and careful handling. Just a hint of ringwear, but this is a very presentable sleeve in its clear protective outer jacket.
The original lyric inner is included in unsplit and uncreased condition, though is showing quite a bit of foxing to the light card (see photos #10 and #11). The vinyl is now housed in a brand new high quality poly-lined inner sleeve for safekeeping and to preserve the original.
This record in a nutshell :  a nicely preserved all round copy of this classic 1973 5th album from Led Zeppelin with the freshly deep cleaned vinyl delivering a lovely pin sharp sound and this album would make a very worthy addition to anyone's playing rock vinyl collection.
