Led Zeppelin II Record Album RL SS Hot Mix and similar items

Overseas: Please read terms of service regarding Registered Mail delivery. This is a very rare issue of the vintage phonograph record album by Led Zepplin, entitled, "Led Zeppelin II". Record label: Atlantic SD 8236. This has the RL stamp with SS etching in the matrix on both sides of the disc. Capital letter "M" etched in the matrix, I assume meaning Monarch, but uncertain. Gold Record Award sticker on the front as shown. Gatefold cover. All matrix numbers: Side 1, outer matrix: ST - A - 6916771-MO CC (MR in a circle) LW(sideways) A13933 L2 (backwards C) W AT. RL SS is on the inner matrix (next to the label). Side 2, outer matrix: ST - A - 691677 2 - MO - 4A (MR in a circle) LW(sideways) AT RL SS A13933-X W. Condition of the record is visually graded probably VG (very good), maybe better. The disc has moderate, non deep surface scratches. Most are light (but many), and a couple are slightly detectable to the touch. Record has been play graded from beginning to end. Here is what I heard: All of it plays through ok, and sounds amazing. There is light popping here and there, and light background noise in the quieter parts. The two most noticeable issues are: About 20 seconds of popping, with each revolution on "The Lemon Song". There is one fairly loud pop towards the end of "Ramble On". I didn't detect any skipping. The album is a very enjoyable listen and the rarity of this issue makes it a valuable and desirable collectible. The cover is graded probably VG++, having light store shelf surface and edge wear. Top right 3" seam split and light spine wear as shown. Payment method as stated. Shipping/Handling as stated. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
