Description
Led Zeppelin's second LP - Led Zeppelin II, or Led Zeppelin 2 - in a 1974 UK pressing, in overall VG-EX condition.
LP itself in EX condition. Green/orange labels. I wouldn't say it has been heavily played, but it's certainly been played more than once in the early part of its life. On the plus side, the last time it was played fully was probably pre-2000 or so, and it's basically been on the shelf, largely untouched, for the last 20 years or so. It has always been stored in clean, dry, centrally-heated conditions, and always stored vertically with no leaning. Any playback has always been on quality gear - Rega 3, moving on to Linn LP12, Basik Plus arm, Audio-Technica or Ortofon cartridges. Never loaned out, has never left my house. The vinyl is clean, still has a good lustre, and has been given a professional clean, using a Moth wet cleaner.
The outer gatefold sleeve is in a matt finish, and has some corner and edge wear to the open end of the gatefold, matching where it would be inserted into the racks, less so to the spine. There's a slight amount of shelf wear to the lower edge. Both flat surfaces of the outer sleeve are very clean, and show no wear and tear apart from the slightest of handling marks.
It comes with a Decca-branded poly-lined inner sleeve. I think the original inner was plain paper, with the current one being my replacement. Keeping the plain paper one to maintain originality didn't cross my mind back then.... Following the wet clean, it has been placed in a new Nagaoka anti-static sleeve within the generic Decca one.

All due care will be taken in packaging, with LP and inner packed separately from outer to avoid seam splits, and a proper LP mailer to be used.
