5 Led Zeppelin originals here: Led Zep I; Led Zep II; Led Zep III; Physical Graffiti; and Presence. All 5 were played tested on my P2.
LED ZEPPELIN I: red/plum label - stamped 588171 (etched 8 replacing 2nd stamped 8) A//1 1 3 / stamped 588171 (etched 8 replacing 2nd stamped 8) B//1 1 3. Warner Bros & Jewel Music label credits.
Visually good+ with a few sleeve lines and a couple of fine scratches. Audio is still good with very little interference. The laminated orange lettered cover with grey strip at base is also good with no tears. There is some storage related creasing but nothing untoward. Intact at all seams and a very good readable spine. Vinyl housed in original poly-lined sleeve.
LED ZEPPELIN II: red/plum label - etched 588-198-A 1 A KT / 589-198-B (1st 9 replaced with etched 8) 1 R KT. "Copyright Control" not Warner Bros / Jewel Music. This copy is a PYE Records contract pressing most noticeable by viewing grooved labels and matrices in deadwax.
Visually good but has quite a few sleeve lines and minor scratches. Audio remains surprisingly very good with very little interference. The light brown gatefold - with misprint on spine (Led Zeppelin 2, instead of II) - cover is showing age related and poor handling/storage wear but remains intact at all seams but does have a worn spine on which the top of the '2' is only just visible. Vinyl housed in original poly-lined sleeve.
LED ZEPPELIN III: red/plum - etched 2401002 A-5 GHC Do what thou wilt 1 5 9 stamped / etched 2401002 B7 GHC So mote it be 1 2 1 2 stamped. 'Day' omitted from Side 1 label for A3 track Celebration Day; Produced by Jimmy Page under Warner Bros Music.
Visually not littered with sleeve lines or faint scratches but there is a scratch across A2 and another through B1. Both create some light crackle and pop, but none of which is overwhelming. Audio otherwise remains good. The gatefold cover, with its working spinning wheel still attached, is by far the best cover of this joblot. But for some age-related discolouration to edges this cover would have been beautiful. Vinyl housed in original poly-lined sleeve.
PHYSICAL GRAFFITI: etched S-8 SSK 89400-A E.G. / S-6 SSK 89400-B E.G. / S-4 SSK 89400-C E.G. / S-2 SSK 89400-D E.G.. Warner logo at end of rim text, and 'Made In UK' labels. 
Side 3 displays an unsightly scuff in C1 but the needle plays through with surprisingly minimal fuss. Sides 1 & 2 have good audio but occasionally noticeable this vinyl has had more playing time, and the odd crackle and pop in the run-in of A1 and 2 thirds through A3 due to 2 very noticeable but small scratches. The double creased folded insert and both inners are in good condition. The die-cut outer cover is very worn on all edges.

PRESENCE: stamped SSK-59402-A1 / stamped SSK-59402-B1. 'Made In UK' labels. Embossed cover.
Vinyl is visually very good, and audio is probably the best in this collection. Minimal amount of sleeve lines and minor scratches. Nothing noteworthy in playback except a good sound. The printed inner sleeve is a let down, holding together but scuffed and a tear. The gatefold cover with embossed group name and album title underlined, and embossed Swan Song emblem, is very good but is aged by storage discolouration. Otherwise no seam splits or scuffs and an excellent spine.
