History...

Led Zeppelin III is the third studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 5 October 1970. It was recorded in three locations. Much of the work was done at Headley Grange, a country house, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Additional sessions were held at Island Studios and Olympic Studios in London. As with the prior album, the band eschewed the use of guest musicians, with all music performed by band members Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitars), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). The range of instruments played by the band was greatly enhanced on this album, with Jones especially emerging as a talented multi-instrumentalist, playing a wide range of keyboard and stringed instruments, including various synthesizers, mandolin and double bass, in addition to his usual bass guitar. As with prior albums, Page served as producer on the album, with mixing done by Andy Johns and Terry Manning.

The outer gatefold cover is in EXCELLENT condition! It is clean, vibrant, glossy, has an amazing spine and includes the turning picture wheel!! Only minimal age wear to corners edges etc as to be expected for an item of this age.

The vinyl is beautiful! Has the sought after plum/orange labels and shows 'Do what this will' & 'So make it be' in the dead wax. It has a lovely glossy sheen in appearance and sits flat to the surface.

Has a couple of tiny, insignificant non feelable surface lines but overall EXCELLENT.

OVERALL AN EXCELLENT AND SOUGHT AFTER PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR MUSICAL HISTORY COLLECTION!
