Description
Led Zeppelin "II" Atlantic SD-8236, "1841 Broadway" address on label, 'RL' etched into the deadwax on both sides, narrow deadwax band on side 2. 1969. Played to confirm the mix differences - they are substantial! Ludwig's mix pushes Plant and Page out to the sides, giving a strong, powerful feature for John Paul Jones' bass and a good portion of John Bonham's drums. A legendary mix, well ahead of it's time, that was pulled because circa 1970 stereo gear could not handle the reproduction (allegedly).
The vinyl is a bit scuffy, and plays VG/VG+ with some light surface noise that the mix seems to cut right through. The gatefold cover and company inner sleeve are in VG/VG+ shape with light edge/corner wear. We call it a 'very playable place-holder' copy, but if you want something closer to mint, you may want to wait...
