Led Zeppelin Thailand EP Whole Lotta Love - The Super Groups X - Also songs by Santana & Vanity Fair. Led Zeppelin Thai 7" 45rpm EP

Sleeve is a VG+  It obviously has a small signature on the front left corner on the sleeves front & the lower right corner of the back of the sleeve. There are 2 white very small white imprints/bumps. 

It has minor ring wear, mostly ring bulge, and has no splits aside from a 3/4" tear at the top right of the discs entry side.

I've included pictures of the signature & 2 small imprints/bumps. but in order to not cause even more of a seam split I've decided not to lift that edge/corner.

Please judge the sleeve with your own opinion. I have not enhanced the photos to make images appear better than the sleeve & labels/vinyl are.

The vinyl is VG. The sound is pretty good on the A side - but it is not as loud volume-wise as the songs on side B. There are zero skips.

I'd grade the labels as VG+

So all in all, I would grade the entire record - Sleeve, Vinyl, Sound, Labels as a strong VG.

I am incredibly honest & forthright in my descriptions about the conditions of every single record that I list. I have purchased many records throughout time - with the grading misleading - and also edited photos of the sleeves especially; making them appear in better condition than they really are in reality. I refuse to do that to any customer.

Grading Thai/Iranian/Malaysian, etc. records is a somewhat of a difficult task.

One must always factor in the going on of 60 years of mishandling/disregardful storage, but ESPECIALLY the atmospheric conditions  - the weather related impact on the condition of the sleeves especially - and in particular Southeast Asia.

In the case of Iranian/Persian unofficial releases - after the political upheaval in the 1970's, all Western music was banned, the possession of Beatles records was illegal and one would face persecution. Most were destroyed. What remains are gems!

Also one must consider the quality of the "pirate" record pressing companies machinery & attention to the final results of the pressed records.

These records were not produced in large quantities whatsoever. If so, there would be tons of duplicate listings on both Ebay & Discogs.

Besides  acetates & some demo pressings cut/produced by official record pressing companies, these unofficial releases are among the rarest copies in existence!

Please see my other record listings - Almost the entirety of them are The Beatles and 90% of the majority are Thai Eps. I also have more Iranian & Malaysian EPs I'm going to list soon, as well as some rare Taiwanese & Malaysian 33's.

I ship all records with maximum protection & in proper record shipping boxes. Using cardboard spacers so that there is no movement/chance of damage for your purchase!
