Led Zeppelin II 2 LP UK ORIGINAL 1st Issue "Lemon Song" GREAT Press [Ex/Vg+]

Description

An original 1st issue of Zep II on UK Atlantic from around summer 1970 [whilst still charting]. Matrix A2/B5. The labels still mention 'Lemon Song' - as did the 1st copies. The vinyl comes housed in an original light-brown E J Day printed cover. We have a generic white inner from the time too.
Vinyl (Ex/Vg+) In lovely condition and has only seen relatively light use. Under close inspection there are a few very slight marks, but nothing heavy or troublesome or nasty looking. One slight blemish on the inner track on side 2. Not sure what it is - but it is incredibly superficial and doesn't feature in the audio. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT level of playback with just slight deviation in a couple of spots per side. This copy is impressive and more than capable of conveying the sheer weight in the guitars that later copies just cannot manage to do. But it is also a relatively clean player into those tricky moments [Bring It On Home / Thankyou]. Expect a touch of background in one spot per side [e.g. Killing Floor]. A couple of ticks in a couple of spots midway through WIAWSNB. But by and large a bit of a banger! Highly recommended.
Cover (Vg+/Vg) In nice condition and these early copies are hellishly difficult to find in decent condition after this passage of time. The front looks really well preserved - nice and flat with with just some light handling signs. The rear exhibits a level of wear that is typical of these covers. A bit of surface wear and some scuffing in places. The interior looks great - no issues. There's some edge wear in the odd spot - nothing epic. The openings are still sharpish. The spine is well preserved. It's retained much of its original square structure. There's a bit of wear observable in a couple of spots - and all the text is perfectly legible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A real nice specimen.
Inner (Vg+) Light ageing. No splits.
