Description
Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
1969 album on Atlantic, K40031 Green and Orange label.
Matrix numbers: side 1: A1 W2KD "STRAWBERRY" 8/8 side 2: W-14KD B1 "STRAWBERRY"
I would grade vinyl as "Excellent", usual fine sleeve marks, plus a few light scuffs, some light static crackles in places. First minute of side 2 during organ solo is a bit crackly, but overall a good crisp pressing that still sounds great. (and IMHO one of the best albums ever made, I still can't put it on without listening to the whole album).
I would grade laminate sleeve as "Very Good+" or close to "Excellent", a little edge and corner scuffing, spine clear and readable, light areas look a little stained and/or faded.
Why am I selling records?
Due to a planned downsizing of our home I am selling my entire collection of vinyl records over the next few months, so take a look at my other items. I am not a dealer or a professional collector, but I will attempt to grade the items using the UK Record Collector Grading System (see below). All the records will be carefully cleaned and listened through before grading. If you disagree with my grading or are unhappy with the item you receive, please contact me first, before giving me negative feedback, I will do my best to resolve matters. The majority of my collection has been barn stored and unplayed for the last 25 years, and when in use were played on good equipment (Garrard 125SB deck) and well looked after.
Postage and Packing
Records will be securely packaged and despatched as soon as possible using Royal Mail second class small parcel service with a signature required. Cost is £3.95 for up to 2 Kg. If you buy more than one record then send me a message and I will package together and send you an invoice with just one postage charge. You can get about 4 or even 5 albums under 2 Kg.

Mt- = Near Mint: In brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and contents nearly perfect.
Ex = Excellent: Shows some signs of being played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG = Very Good: Obviously been played many times but no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on cover or contents, without any major defects.
Gd+ = Better than Good: Sound quality has deteriorated but with no distortion. Light scratches and occasional mild scratch. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges but not spine splits or discoloration.
Gd = Good: Sound quality has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion. Mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc.
Fair: Still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise - it may even jump. Cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
Poor: Will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. Cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
I have graded the vinyl first, then the cover
