This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
Early issue of Led Zeppelin's self-titled classic album with a famous silver line, released in 1969. Cleaned with my humminguru ultrasonic cleaner.
1. How it sounds: It sound much better than it looks, so i would say there are pockets of crackling, of which there are not many;
2. How it looks: The photo was taken in strong sunlight, so all the flaws of the record are visible here.
However, in normal light, the plate looks good because all these scratches are shallow;
3. What about cover? it's in quite good shape, strong VG, maybe a bit better;
4. Something interesting about it? I bought it stained with something I didn't understand, and then
I couldn't even imagine that it could sound anyhow. But after three cleanings, it regained its gloss and sounded very good!!
5. Actions needed? Just listen and have fun.
6. Matrixes: A: 588171 A//1 13 41 (first 8 is crossed out and other 8 is scrawled on top), B: 588171 B//1 13 25 (one of 8 scratched out and near another 8 is scrawled)
I rate the records according to the classic Goldmine system.
It means M<NM<VG+<VG<G<P
So this one is:
VG (record) VG, close to VG+ (cover)
