Description
Vinyl LP
Led Zeppelin II
Condition:
Vinyl: VG+
Cover: VG+
Please see Vinyl Grading for details
1969 Atlantic 8236 - Original US Issue (1841 Broadway NY label)
Etched in dead wax runoff: ST-A-691672 R | Gatefold Cover
Label error is fairly obvious.
Material intended as side one is listed as Side TWO. Material intended as side two is listed as side ONE.
"Whole Lotta Love" for example is shown as being the first track on side TWO. "Heartbreaker" (et al) is
listed as on side one. Please see pics.
In a fairly extensive google search, that also included popsike and various Led Zep collector sites, I have
seen no reference to a label /tracklist error such as this on Led Zep II. So this is possibly unique.
Disc is graded VG+ due to numerous but very light marks. Nothing deep or feelable and surface on both
sides retain a nice glossy finish.
FRONT cover condition is surprisingly nice (on its own, it could be graded as Excellent).
No staining or ring wear that is commonly evident on these original flat finished covers.
Top & bottom seams show some evidence of wear, but no splitting.
Spine shows more evident wear with some paper loss.
Inside gatefold is superclean.
Back cover has a subtle stain & previous owners initials in small print.
Original Atlantic inner sleeve is included.
The starting bid reflects a fairly good value for this without the error. So please consider accordingly.

Our Vinyl Grading
Because record grading can be so subjective, we feel it's important to explain how we grade vinyl.
It should be noted that nearly all conditions posted are obtained by visual inspection only unless otherwise noted.
Grades do not include the disc's label. Please contact us if you would like details regarding the label condition.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: Although very rare, minor production flaws are possible on these records, so these items can only be assured of being factory-sealed "new" but not necessarily "MINT" condition. MINT : LPs described as MINT in short, should appear as new and unplayed. There are no visible signs of use (no matter how light) or even staining of any kind. Typically, Mint describes open but unplayed records. We seldom use this grade. NM : Near Mint condition records appear as mint on casual inspection, but may have one very slight, visible mark or very light scuffing or staining that would not affect the record's play. Groove surface should still be bright and appear as new or little played.
EX : Excellent allows for more light marks or scuffs than a "NM" record, but still does effect play. The disc's surface will likely appear bright as if played little. EX+ and EX- are just slight variable grades from EX.
Conversely, "Excellent" could also describe a disc with no visible marks whatsoever, but appears to have been played with some regularity and has lost a bit of its sheen. VG+ : Very Good+ An intermediate grade better than VG but not quite Excellent. Generally our VG+ graded discs are still considered a collectible condition quality record and should be an acceptable to quite good playback copy, but perhaps not audiophile quality.
VG : Very Good: Visible marks or scuffs that may be audible, but should not skip.
A VG grade could also describe a disc that has one notable scratch that may be audible or skip, but all other tracks would be described as excellent. It should be noted that whenever a track is known to skip, it is acknowledged. Slight warping that does not affect sound is possible in this grade.
Good "Good" disc will appear well played. Several scratches or scuffs are apparent or may have more than one significant scratch. Warping may apply. Disc is playable, but may skip or have noticeable audible noise.
Fair / Poor: These grades indicate a disc that was neglected and does not represent much of a listening value.
NOTE: Good, Fair & Poor condition discs are not normally offered with the exception of an extremely rare item or for the cover art only.

A Note About Visual Grading:
It is important to affirm that our grading is always assigned by visual inspection only unless otherwise specifically noted.
Visual record grading can sometimes be quite misleading in regards to the discs' actual playback sound quality.
Records that appear as new can often have surface noise that has no relation to its condition (as is common with late 70s and 80s records which were often cheaply processed). In this case, many of these records have playback flaws (inherent surface noise) that would have been audible even when they were new and played for the first time.
There are many budget labels from the 50s and 60s that also share these same characteristics, but as a whole, 50s and 60s records were much more quality oriented. So much so, in fact, that records from these periods can often appear well-played or heavily marked and still play wonderfully.
Also, recording processes varied greatly in the 50s & 60s. Some analogue recordings were not up to today's standards and sound inferior or even defective in contrast. Again, this is not reflected in our grading.
So when the quality of the recording AND playback is considered, it is sometimes as pertinent to know other variables such as year of pressing or the quality of the labels pressing process at that time than just that of the visual grade given.
We will always guarantee and stand behind our visual grading. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the sound quality will always adhere strictly to that visual grade. We appreciate your consideration in this regard.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our terms.
It is very much appreciated! Lou @ The Music Baron
