Description
This is a promotional copy pressed in Germany for the 1985 re-issue. The disk has never been played apart from tracks 2 and 3 on side two which have a scuff mark across them. They were played to make sure that the scuff mark had not affected the tracks and it hasn't. I would personally grade it as Mint but as nothing is rarely perfect I'll have to say that it's Excellent using the grading definitions below.
In August 1968, the English rock band The Yardbirds had completely disbanded. Guitarist Jimmy Page, The Yardbirds' sole remaining member, was left with rights to the band’s name and contractual obligations for a series of concerts in Scandinavia. For his new band, Page recruited bassist John Paul Jones, vocalist Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham. During September 1968, the group toured Scandinavia as The New Yardbirds, performing some old Yardbirds material as well as new songs such as "Communication Breakdown", "I Can't Quit You Baby", "You Shook Me", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "How Many More Times". The month after they returned to England, October 1968, Page changed the band's name to Led Zeppelin, and the group entered Olympic Studios in London to record their debut album.
Led Zeppelin's front cover, which was chosen by Page, features a black-and-white image of the burning Hindenburg airship. The image refers to the origin of the band's name when Page, Jeff Beck and The Who's Keith Moon and John Entwistle were discussing the idea of forming a band, Moon joked, "It would probably go over like a lead balloon", and Entwistle allegedly replied, "...a lead zeppelin!"
Mint, Perfect, flawless. Legitimate sellers seldom use this grade. When a record is truly
Mint, it deserves (and receives) a large premium over other grades.
M- or NRMT (Mint Minus or Near Mint) – Usually the highest grade. Records from the
1950s & 60s in this condition are truly rare.
EXCELLENT or EXC - Almost near mint, maybe a mark or two on the cover. No wear on cover or record. Most collectors examples.
VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus) – Beautiful collectible condition. Only the slightest of
wear, certainly no deep scratches.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) - Great condition. Well cared for.
VG (Very Good) – Still good condition, but more wear than VG+.
VG- (Very Good Minus) - Generally not collectible condition, unless it’s a super rare
record. Most dealers avoid records in this shape or below.
G (Good) – Lots of wear, but still playable. The most confusing grade! Good really does
not mean good. It is actually quite poor condition to a collector.
