 Artist: LED ZEPPELIN

 

Title: CODA LP

 

Year: 1982

 

Label/code: SWAN SONG/ATLANTIC 79.0051.1

 

Grading-Vinyl: NEAR MINT,

Visually this LP is superb, checked under bright light and no hesitation in saying some would visually grade as MINT, still lovely and glossy and very very clean.

Audio-High end, loud, bold and certanly no jumps or skips, audio never drops below EX+ with majority playing at Near Mint to Mint, as per any LP including new ones,the odd bit of background noise will be heard but rest assured we don't overgrade and this is far far from a poor copy.

 

Swan Song " Flames Of Albion " centres are free from any rips or writing, NO spindle wear & NO Damage to centre hole.

 

Grading-Sleeve/Inserts: EX+,

Heavy Carboard with Thick book like spine is free of any rips, splits or writing/pen marks, fully Embossed Coda Lettering is great.

Title spine shows rubbing from storage, not ripped etc but is quite obvious compared with rest of sleeve however all the title Spine text is present including catalogue number.

All other spines still strong with only light corner storage wear.

Inside gatefold once again has no rips, splits or writing, colours all still bold but does have some orange spots of discolouration from age.

Inner Sleeve has name of LP in pen in one corner and what looks like year of purchase, we have tried to show this in the attached pictures, its not major ie. all over sleeve.

Condition of this Inner is EX+, only downgraded due to above mention writing and a couple of spots of light discolouration, NO rips, splits or damage and all text is perfect.
