ARTIST - LED ZEPPELIN TITLE - HOUSES OF THE HOLY LABEL - ATLANTIC CATALOG NO - SD 19130 
RECORD GRADING - EXCELLENT COVER GRADING - EXCELLENT
The cover is all intact, slight crimp or bump in the upper left. The insert is all intact and clear. Side One has a scuff that looks like a scratch, someone had trouble removing the needle it looks like. You cannot feel it with the skin of your finger. It causes no sound issues. There is a slight tic during some of Over the Hills and Far Away. Side Two looks mint minus and plays fantastic. This is a rare reissue with great sound. It is a Specialty pressing plant copy, it has the SP on the label and the SRC logo in the dead wax. 
Side One dead wax - ST-A-732783-J  1-2 SRC logo (in between the J and the 1-2 are some letterings that I cannot quite make out possibly et?? ) Side Two dead wax - ST-A-732784-G 1-3 SRC logo (same as above)
I could not quite come up with a match during an internet search of this particular pressing. I don't know for a fact if this is very rare, but what I do know is this is a very fine sounding copy. 


Shipping: Combined Shipping:  I can combine shipping!  Many times it means I can ship up to 3 LP's U.S. for the same cost as one, and possibly more 45's.   International bidders - Combined shipping will be only based on weight, so I will need to know how many items are bought before sending invoice.  International Shipping:  I ship using e-Bays's International Standard Delivery.  This sends the item to a shipping center in the U.S. and they send it off from there.  If you would like to change the shipping preference please let me know.    And as always, I do not change values on customs labels. Thank you. 

VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM: (based on Goldmine)  Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus. Mint Minus - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink. Excellent - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do no affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover. VG+ - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear.  VG - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits. VG minus - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits.  G+ - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed.  STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus, but I do not know if there was any factory defects.  Hairline scuffs -  light yet visible. Cannot be felt with the skin of your finger.  (I cannot fathom feeling it with your fingernail as described in Goldmine...why would you do that?) Scratches - Can be felt. If I am on the fence between grades, I will go with the lower one.  I will not use VG++ etc., but will say that a record is a "strong" VG+.  Age wear - on a cover is either fading or yellowing.  Shelf wear - is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying
