History...

Led Zeppelin III is the third studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 5 October 1970. It was recorded in three locations. Much of the work was done at Headley Grange, a country house, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Additional sessions were held at Island Studios and Olympic Studios in London. As with the prior album, the band eschewed the use of guest musicians, with all music performed by band members Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitars), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), and John Bonham (drums). The range of instruments played by the band was greatly enhanced on this album, with Jones especially emerging as a talented multi-instrumentalist, playing a wide range of keyboard and stringed instruments, including various synthesizers, mandolin and double bass, in addition to his usual bass guitar. As with prior albums, Page served as producer on the album, with mixing done by Andy Johns and Terry Manning.

The outer gatefold cover is in fabulous condition for age! It is still bright, vibrant & glossy and includes the turning picture wheel! No splits or tears, only minor age wear/imperfections to corners, edges, soine etc. Minimal age discolouration/dirt as to be expected.

The vinyl has the sought after plum/orange Atlantic labels with 'Do what thou wilt' & 'So mote it be' in the dead wax and shows the all important RARE 'Peter Grant' credits! It has a superior glossy sheen in appearance and sits flat to the surface. There are a couple of light non feelable surface lines and two tiny scores.
