Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II (LP, Album, RP, Pye) 

Record / Media Condition : Near Mint (NM or M-)

Sleeve Condition : Very Good Plus (VG+)

Lovely vinyl and the rarer Pye pressing. Age related wear to edges of gatefold sleeve but still very nice.

Notes : Contract pressing. Probably printed by the UK Pye in the first half of 1970. The copyright information are listed as ‘Copyright Control", when later red/plum labels state ’Warner Bros and Jewel Music. To meet the high demand for this album at that time, Polydor sub bargained the pressing of few copies to Pye. It is recognized because has a groove inside the label and matrices end ONLY with the letter A (side 1) and B (side 2). It exists both with the error "Wreck" (printed in 1969) [r9505777] and with the correct title "Maid" as this copy. Red/plum labels with: A3 as "THE LEMON SONG"; A4 mistyping as "THANKYOU"; B2 as "LIVIN' LOVIN' MAID (SHE'S A WOMAN)". On labels: Made in Gt. Britain. ℗1969 Copyright Control Under licence from Atlantic Recording Corpn., U.S.A.

Record grading guide

Mint (M)

The item and container are absolutely perfect in every way. To qualify as Mint, the item must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that an item can be sealed and not Mint. If you suspect your record is in Mint condition, do not play it.

Near Mint (NM)

The item is nearly perfect. Near Mint (NM) media has more than likely never been played, and if it has, there will be no imperfections during playback. The item should show no obvious signs of wear. The cover or container can have very minor defects., but it should have no folds, seam splits, scratches, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no item is ever truly perfect.
