The duration is actually 8:28, but Jimmy Page listed it is 03:30 in a bid to trick radio stations into playing it!
LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE!
The production values on this record are absolutely stunning. Listening to it today was goose-bump inducing as it is…this album had a huge impact on the music scene in 1969. UNIQUE, RICH, FULL FREQUENCY
Considering this was a LOVED album that was listened to a lot, the sleeve and record itself are in surprisingly good condition!
SLEEVE CONDITION:
Small inkblot to the top left of the sleeve, on the reverse side. Small amount of bubbling on the spine, some discolouration to the outer corners of the sleeve where the record has been taken out and replaced. Turquoise logo, the most sought-after version EVER. Laminated both sides for a beautiful sheen that can be seen in my photos. No barcode, no writing, no sticker marks. George Hardie’s rapidograph depiction of the Hindenburg disaster on the front.
INNER LINING :
Looks a little yellowed, but has maintained its inner plastic film.
VINYL appearance:
There are visible tiny scratches and scuff marks, the amount you would expect from a 40 year old record.
VINYL sound quality:
It has been tested recently on two decent audiophile soundsystems.
The record has NO JUMPS, although there are some persistent crackles and a few pops throughout the recording that are especially noticeable during the quieter moments.
This is the FIRST EVER BATCH original pressing, on the higher quality heavier vinyl.
THIS RECORD WILL BE SENT SPECIAL DELIVERY, FULLY INSURED AND SAFELY & SECURELY PACKED FREE OF CHARGE.
IF NEEDS TO GET THERE BY XMAS I WILL COURIER IT, ALTHOUGH THIS MAY COST MORE PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THIS IS THE CASE.
BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU BID!
ANY QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE, IF YOU WANT MORE PICS JUST DROP ME A LINE.
