ALSO PLEASE NOTE:
THIS VERY COPY OFFERED IN THIS AUCTION/BUY-IT-NOW IS THE VERY EXACT SAME COPY THAT WAS PURCHASED BY MYSELF HERE IN THE EBAY AUCTION OF MARCH 11TH 2011:
'... Price: $762.02 USD...' famous
(as seen on popsike/collectors frenzy) ebay copy that was sold
to ME on march 21st 2011
NOW IT CAN BE YOURS !
I have NEVER OPENED IT and i STILL have DECIDED NOT TO !
AND SO by way of explanation: .....back in 2011 i had led zeppelin ii still-sealed 'fever' and bought quite a few still-sealed zeppelin II's examples as part of my research on this great record and it's release history...
this was the most expensive still-sealed
copy that i bought and it has merely been stored and very thoughtfully & carefully since i bought it on ebay a few years ago... since that time i've acquired other examples and have recently decided that i don't need to own as many as back when i started my research
and so..... the opening bid is WELL BELOW what i paid for it on march 21st 2011
my LOSS is YOUR OPPORTUNITY
the record is STILL-SEALED and EXACTLY as i received it
you can EASILY look this up on collectors frenzy or popsike -- just easily locate the 2nd highest
price copy and it is the ONE being offered HERE
in THIS auction/buy-it-now
THIS exact same copy is the 2nd highest priced copy ever reported sold in recent ebay history by popsike/collectors frenzy
NOW IT CAN BE YOURS !
i agree to lose a few dollars on this as....
i've GAINED in the entire led zeppelin ii experience
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL NOVEMBER 1969 ISSUE
here is the
original seller's notes (copy is the same condition as when i bought it):
'...LED ZEPPELIN II ORIG. FACTORY SEALED 1ST 69` PRESSING
ZEPPELIN'S 2nd RELEASE FROM 1969 ON ATLANTIC FACTORY SEALED, AND SO CLOSE TO MINT. GATEFOLD WITH BOTH TITLE TRACK AND THE MUCH RARER REAR SONG TRACK STICKER ON THE REAR. ULTRA CLEAN COVER WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OF SHELF OR RINGWEAR. JUST THE BEST I'VE SEEN! THERE'S NO DOUBT THIS ONE COULDNT BE IMPROVED! THE ONLY SIGN OF ANY WEAR ARE THE OPENING CORNER TIPS. NO CREASES- NO KNOCKS, JUST RUBS WHERE THE SHRINKWRAP IS SPLIT OPEN AT THE CORNERS OF THE MOUTH. EASILY A 9.5 ON A SCALE TO 10! ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AN ORIGINAL 69` PRESSING STILL SEALED, BUT TO FIND ONE WITH THE STICKERS MAKE THIS ONE STELLAR, AS ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF ORIGINAL ISSUES HAD THEM! A TRUE MUST HAVE FOR ANY SERIOUS ZEPPELIN COLLECTOR! 2 BREATHE HOLES ON THE SHRINKWRAP (ONE IS SEEN IN PHOTO#3) DON'T BE OUTBID! THEY JUST DON'T COME AROUND LIKE THIS!...'
