Vinyl Grade: Near Mint

I have play tested this record many times and it's a joy to listen to- the audio quality is superb. There are no clicks, skips or jumps to be heard on any of the tracks. The audio quality can truly be appreciated and so can the brilliance of Page on Since I've Been Loving You, where the lack of background noise accentuates the guitar in particular. Plant's vocals sound superb also especially in Tangerine while not forgetting the contributions of Bonham and Jones throughout. Listening to a copy of this quality even makes a classic album like this one that more enjoyable. Not only does the vinyl sound great, it looks great also. No scratches or hairlines to be seen. If you look hard under strong light you can very faint sleeve removal marks but that's it. Both labels look amazing. Side one has faint spindle marks and I can't see any on side two. The labels are very bright and very clean.

Sleeve grading: Near Mint.

Ernest J. Day gatefold sleeve. The sleeve is in exceptional condition. It's clean and bright. Mild discolouration around the edges but that's all. The spine is perfect and the text could not be clearer. All corners are intact. No crinkles or creases. No laminate lift or loss. No damage to opening edges. No shelf wear. Beautiful!

The original inner sleeve is dated 08/70 is in very good condition with creasing evident.
