Condition:
The vinyl is graded VG overall.
This is very conservative grading.
There are visible scratches, scuffs and surface marks which have been photographed under LED lighting to show the condition as honestly as possible.
Although the record is not a near mint example, it plays all the way through and sounds very good for its grade.
There are no issues preventing enjoyment of this classic album and it remains a very enjoyable listen.
The heavyweight unlaminated gatefold sleeve is graded VG with corner wear consistent with age.
The original inner sleeve is included but does have a split.
Overall, this is a respectable example of a genuine Version 1 UK first pressing of Led Zeppelin IV.
A fantastic opportunity to own a true collector s pressing of one of the greatest rock albums ever made without the premium price of a higher-grade copy.
The record will be professionally cleaned before dispatch and packaged securely in a proper LP mailer with stiffeners to ensure safe delivery.
A superb addition to any Led Zeppelin collection or serious classic rock vinyl archive.
