About Me

• First and foremost, I am a collector and rarely sell anything. This is important to know so you can understand that I realize the importance of proper grading and quality shipping. I do not give out letter grades like, Mint, VG+, or VG. Instead I will provide accurate grading to describe any flaws on the vinyl and cover so there will not be any surprise(s) for the winner.

• This is one of those rare times that I have decided to part ways with a few of my rare records and let someone else be the caretaker of them, and hopefully pass them on in the years ahead. I have been collecting vinyl LP’s since the early 70’s and in most cases was either the original or 2nd owner of what is in my collection.

• You will not be disappointed and hopefully enjoy your purchase for years to come. If you have any questions please ask them before you bid. Do not ask me to close an auction before it runs its course.

• SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT. Stored vertically and not stacked.

• Please wait until the auction is over and I have contacted you with the final price so I can provide an accurate quote on shipping. DO NOT PAY UNTIL I HAVE CONTACTED YOU. If you do, then I will refund your payment. eBay has a habit of not having accurate shipping costs. You will only be charged for the actual cost of shipping that includes any new packaging. I do not mark up. I will ship via USPS and will ship with insurance and tracking. While this may be more expensive, it also protects both buyer and seller from damage or loss that may incur during shipping.

• All vinyl will be placed in a poly non-static sleeve and shipped outside of the cover to prevent seam splitting. Covers are also in poly sleeves.

• I only accept payments via PayPal. No exceptions.

Led Zeppelin IV RTI Test Pressing SD-7208 180 gram

• This is a very hard to find 33 rpm test pressing of Led Zeppelin IV from the now defunct Classic Records, pressed by RTI (Record Technology Incorporated) and mastered by Bernie Grundman. They used the original master tapes that were recorded at 15 IPS.  This is NOT the recent digitized reissue. This is a pure analogue pressing from 2001.

• Label Condition – Side 1 and 2 are exceptionally clean. No flaws.

• Vinyl Condition Side 1 and Side 2 – Both sides have full luster as new and are free of any marks, period. I am the original owner and have played it 3 times.

• If you have any questions, please reach out to me before you bid. Good luck in your bidding and I hope you appreciate this LP for the years to come as much as I have.
