Being one of my favourite albums of all time-it really wasn't a chore to listen to her through at HIGH volume!!
Great sound reproduction..Deep bass and clear highs.
There are just a few very light marks to the vinyl, but they only very, VERY occasionally lightly registered in playback and certainly didn't make the needle jump, skip or stick...For example; I found a light/soft revolutionary pop (only 3 very light pops) right in the quiet transitioning section of Thank You on side 2-it wasn't offensive at all.
On playback the album bass was superbly clean and low-it really shone out!
There was some VERY light background noise, only noticeable (but not offensively so) in the quieter sections and more so in the run-outs...But hey; when the tracks get going there's nothing to detract from a lovely listening to Zepp at their best!
*TURN HER UP-I DID*
WOW-Superb drums kicking in at the start-magical! And Ooooh, the escalation of the bass line on Ramble On is a pure joy to listen to.
FLAT & HEAVY.

The Labels:
EX!
ORIGINAL RED & PLUM labels.
 Just very light wear to these iconic labels...Please see the images...WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL!
KILLING FLOOR credit.
MADE IN Gt. BRITAIN

The writing credit on Side 2 (tracks B1 - Heartbreaker and B4 - Moby Dick) are credited to “BALDWIN” - JOHN RICHARD BALDWIN, as JOHN PAUL JONES was his stage name; in addition HE IS CREDITED IN HIS STAGE NAME OF JOHN PAUL 'JONES' on side 1 for A1 Whole Lotta Love. THIS ONLY OCCURRED ON THIS RED/PLUM LABEL VARIATION as other Red/Plum label variations credited 'Jones' for all 3 tracks.

States "Lemon Song" in the sleeve track listing...This was never changed.

The spine remains strong, with some slight rubbing.

ORIGINAL inner here.
Correct inner for this copy-with the "Plastic Bags Can Be Dangerous" blue outline box to the bottom of one side.
 Two-windowed poly-lined inner sleeve in creamy white which carries light discolouration-certainly did her job in looking after the vinyl :)

THIS BABY WOULD PUT A VERY LARGE SMILE ON ANY ROCK FAN!!!
THE COLLECTABLE RED & PLUM LABELS -ALL HOUSED IN A SOLID CHOCOLATE GATEFOLD SLEEVE!!....
GREAT AUDIO THROUGHOUT & ALL COMPLETE-AS SHE WAS, WHEN SHE WAS BORN!
