Description

LED ZEPPELIN II RL Robert Ludwig Both Sides 1969 rare HOT MIX 1st U.S. Terre Haute pressing with thick cardboard matte gatefold cover and correct inner sleeve-
Rare “Terre Haute” pressing of this title featuring withdrawn mix later remastered to eliminate "excess" bass.
Played all the way through to determine condition. 
As noted above, side 1 vinyl is G+ to VG, with light scuffs & light wear but nothing deep or that can be felt with a fingernail…there are a couple "micro" skips on track one and track 4, although there is nothing obvious on the vinyl that would cause this..pops and crackles can be heard at the during quiet spots & in between the song tracks. The noise is not really apparent during the louder passages and of course, the Ludwig mix really shines on these tracks…
Side 2 vinyl is VG to VG, plays through fine with just one skip on the last track; same scuffs & light wear as on side one with one “hairline”, but nothing obvious like a scratch..and with the same light popping and crackling during quiet parts…
Listening to both sides carefully, this is a great mixed version of this title; everything is clear and defined, especially the bass (including drums & bass guitar) but also you can hear more acoustic & rhythm guitar.

It’s almost impossible to find these in clean condition, but the good thing is that even beat copies rock hard because of the recording and the mix which is very loud in volume and mastering so tends to obscure a lot of the crackles and noise..
COVER is in VG+ Condition with light shelf wear along the seams and spine but all are intact. Spine is solid (see photos). Inside gatefold looks good (Broadway address) ....
Period correct Atlantic INNER SLEEVE is VG with age/weathering…
Side 1 matrix runout: ST-A-691671-1A RL SS
Side 2 matrix runout: ST-A-691672-1A RL SS

*Because of overall condition of this record I would consider it a “starter/placeholder” or “reference” example of a very rare record that should be judged as so, and bid on accordingly…
Bidding starts at $9.99
USPS Media Mail $3.85  (If the auction goes over $100 I will ship free USPS Priority Mail in the Continental U.S.) Ask me for combined shipping deals on multiple albums. 
Vinyl will be placed in it’s own anti-static sheath, separate from its cover, with the cover in its own clear sheath, sandwiched between two cardboard spacers & well packed in a standard record mailer, USPS Media Mail
*Check my other auctions for more vintage records....


Records have been given a basic cleaning, but I would recommend a proper cleaning to get even better sound and performance!

Of course returns are accepted if item does not match description-Check my feedback, it’s 100% positive!

Just a note: These albums come from a "virus-free" home. My heart goes out to those that are affected worldwide. You can be sure that I adhere to the social distancing policy very strongly and will thoroughly clean & pack these items well before shipping.


Thank you for looking,

PS: I will also include a decent Les Zep II outer cover- I know the one pictured here isn't the greatest- Thx

Hi, please disregard the last bit about including an extra cover- This was a carry-over from a previous auction- I’ve sold like five of these over the last couple months! The cover on this one is fine-


Thx!
