Description

Led Zeppelin II RL Robert Ludwig Hot Mix on Side 1 and Lee Hulko mix on Side 2. Both sides etched SS for Sterling Sound.

Vinyl is record vacuum machine cleaned and in archival quality inner sleeve.

Atlantic Records SD 8236 1st U.S. pressing on matte cover with original Atlantic inner sleeve.

Columbia Terre Haute pressing plant information as indicated by the "CTH" on labels and the"T" etched in runouts.

RL etched on side one, LH etched on side two with narrower runoff.


Test played through sounds FANTASTIC!!! So rare to find one of these that is clean enough to hear the fabulous reverb and room sound! Usually scratched to death.


This is the unusual split with Lee Hulko who worked as a Mastering Engineer at Sterling Sound with Robert Ludwig. This is not the later repressing where the bass was rolled off, this sounds like a two sided Ludwig to me. I have all of the Ludwig pressing versions of this album except for one Germany and have sold many.


VINYL VG though much plays better!!! Light hairlines or scuffs, and a barely feelable scratch at the end of side one track two part way into track three. But don’t worry there are no loud pops or skips. Light ticks/crackle intros or between tracks or very quiet sections of music. A few moderate clicks occasionally, doesn’t overwhelm music, an enjoyable listen for this very rare and extremely popular record album without the sky high cost many sellers are now demanding as the RL’s are being sought.


COVER VG+ with solid seams and spine. Slight stain/fingerprints and rubs in light areas, spine and edges with light rubbing on edges. Corners are really nice, solid!!!!


INNER SLEEVE VG+ short edge splits.


Will be safely shipped in proper mailer with record removed to prevent splitting!
