For sale here is an excellent copy of Led Zeppelin 3, with the highly sought after Peter Grant credit on the label. This as you probably know, means its a genuine 1st press. A lot of people think because it's a plum label its a 1st press, however its only the ones that have the Peter Grant credit that are so. 
Being a 1st press it has the A5 B5 matrix numbers, showing its a 1st press, 1st variant. It also has the so mote be it and do what thou wilt on it. 
The vinyl is in excellent condition. Some sleeve removal hairlines, nothing more. No scratches, no scuffs. 
The spine is in excellent condition, however the cover is graded as VG+ overall. The spinning wheel works perfectly, but theres a couple light creases and a slight bit of light edge wear. 
This has been play tested and it sounded brilliant. 
1970 UK original. Cat no 2401002
Any questions, feel free to ask.

The Boring bit ;

Most of the records I sell have been stored for many years, even decades. Some will have dust that can be seen by the eye, some may look clean but have deep seeded dust from being 40 or 50 years old. This may initially affect the playback quality. I work full time and have a young family so I don’t have time to play every record I list, so if you receive a record and it doesn’t sound as you think it should, please have it properly cleaned (with a good, well known record cleaner) and replay. Unless I have stated that I have, then I will not have play tested the record myself. If you want me to playtest the record and feedback to you before buying, I can do this. Please don’t click buy it now and then ask.  

Please do not contact me asking for a part refund. I’ve had a few chancers simply looking for an excuse to claw some money back on their purchase, usually dealers (looking to maximise their sell on profits). Needless to say, this is not how I operate. 

I am willing to post abroad. 

Please find below a grading system that I tend to go by. Hopefully with this there will be no confusion. Thanks

Very Good (VG)

A VG-rated vinyl has experienced a lot of use. It’s still useable, but it’ll carry a few distortions. Ranked above a G-rated record, a VG-rated record often carries pops and clicks. It might have light visible scratches, and it may have split edges. For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, however, its use will be apparent—both visually and audibly.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The next step up, a VG+ record has little faults. A VG+ record may have several inaudible marks and a little rub. Its audio will likely have slight background crackle. As with a VG record, however, close inspection may reveal its age.

Excellent (E)

An Excellent record is similar to a VG+ record. Its light marks will be difficult to spot, however, as will be its audio distortions. A lot of Ex-rated records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. A handful or less of hairlines may be present. Their minute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.

Near Mint (NM)

A Near Mint record is a fantastic investment. It looks glossy, and it’s clearly only been played several times. NM vinyl has little to no markings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched. Don’t expect to find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfect only in its one-or-two-time use.

Mint (M)

A Mint record is perfect. It’s never been played, and it might’ve never been removed from its package. It’s fully sealed, and it has no blemishes or audio distortions.
