Description
Led Zeppelin PHYSICAL GRAFFITI - Classic Records 2LP 33 1/3rpm 200gm TEST PRESSING and this copy is SEALED and MINT! I purchased this copy here on Ebay in October 2016 during the period when Classic Records had closed its doors and were selling off its remaining inventory, including numerous test pressings and other artifacts (I will be offering some of these in the near future). This is A MUST have for any Zep fan: besides U.S. and Japanese pressings, I own Classic's original 180gm "Quiex SV" edition, AND the holy grail 8LP 45 rpm edition included in Classic's 44LP 45rpm "road case" edition. Hands down, the Classic Records editions are THE best sounding, most authoritative documents of this priceless catalogue in existence. And these test pressings are as close as you can get to the master tape!
Here is how Classic described this item in the original auction:
"This auction is for a STILL SEALED 2-LP Test Pressing marked A/B, C/D of the Classic Records 200gram reissue of Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti". Jacket is included as a bonus! Test pressings are highly collectible and are from the first stamper. Approximately less than 20 exist depending on the title. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value.
Jacket in mint condition."

The 2LP set includes: two test pressing LPs, sealed in generic white cardboard covers, with typed labels indicating Classic's catalogue number for this title (SS 2-200), and indicating Record 1 (A/B) and Record 2 (C/D). In addition, the printed inner sleeves for each record were included, but NOT the outer cover.
NOTE: THIS IS A TEN DAY AUCTION ENDING WEDNESDAY AUGUST 21. GOOD LUCK!
Now's your chance to get Led Zeppelin/Classic Records rarity at a fair market price!
NOTE: The outer shrink wrap tends to reflect the image of the overhead ceiling fixture. If you see a round white/blue circle on the cover, that is the reflection.
ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $3 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled.
COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs. If a single LP is purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If two LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If three or more LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $0 for shipping materials (I will absorb the cost of materials). As the final amount can only be calculated after auctions have ended, I will issue the appropriate refund on the day the LPs are shipped.
About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment.
Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck!
PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
