DESCRIPTION: Led Zeppelin LP- IV, 4 ZOSO . 1ST UK pressing with second red/plum labels (Misty Mountain Top), No Peter Grant credit and Atlantic in central white band. A3/B3 (PECKO DUCK/PORKY) matrix. Dull matt gate fold sleeve and textured dark brown inner with no Gothic Print credit. Vinyl has been kept in a separate white inner and gate fold in a heavy PVC sleeve. One of the best covers I have had for this, on a par with my own copy. LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER: Atlantic 2401 002 YEAR OF RELEASE: 1971 COUNTRY OF RELEASE: UK CONDITION (VINYL/COVER): VG/EX. Vinyl is very clean with a nice sheen. It has a few hairlines and some brushing lines that have little effect on playback. Played all of this today on my budget deck, Sits perfectly flat on the turntable. Sounds not too far off Excellent.  Music is clean, clear and loud. Battle Of Evermore" has the odd tick in the intro. "Stairway To Heaven" and Going To California" both play nicely, clean and clear. Gate fold cover is truly one of the best I have ever seen. It is firm and square and has less than light edge wear, corner wear and negligible creasing. The inside of the gate fold is really, really clean, faultless. It has a tiny sticker removal graze on the front cover. I would rather you saw this but if i was buying this i would maybe put a small sticker from the early 70s over it and then you have a better than EX sleeve.  Inner sleeve is one of the best I have seen. It retains amazing  shape. It is firm and square with only a fine 2" split to centre of bottom edge. Its completely free from the usual heavy feathering to the top edge. This is the first inner sleeve I have had with absolutely no feathering - check out the photos . Really clean labels, tilted to light maybe a few pinpoint foxing spots- check out the photos. No writing, rips or stickers. All postage costs include insurance.  PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LZ/PUNK/METAL/CLASSIC/HARD ROCK LISTINGS IN MY EBAY SHOP. Grading system: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. I DO PLAY EVERY RECORD I LIST NOW even though its often just quite briefly. Please bear in mind you may get a touch of background sound, even if its just on intros and between the tracks on 30-40 year old vinyl records!! :: MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover, or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades.
