Description

LED ZEPPELIN II LP Robert Ludwig “RL SS” hot mix RARE.
1st U.S. pressing featuring the infamous Robert Ludwig HOT MIX with "RL" and "SS" etched on BOTH sides.
TEST PLAYED ON HEADPHONES to determine sound quality.
VINYL in G+ condition, several light hairlines, scuffs that cause background crackle and occasional pops. One skip heard on "Ramble On" in section after lyric "Crept up and slipped away with her" at instrumental break before chorus. On the beat so not very noticeable. The rest of the record sounds strong G+, VG in louder segments, great listen.
COVER in VG+ with some edge wear, staining/yellowing on cover, sine readable but has more edge wear than the seams, still nice. All seams and spine are solid and no splits!!!
INNER SLEEVE in VG with yellowing, edge wear, seams split in middle of each section.
Record shipped in proper mailer with record removed to prevent splitting. Inner sleeve intact, record housed in new MOFI sleeve.
NOTES:
US 1st pressing (with the 1841 Broadway address on the labels), featuring Robert Ludwig's "hot" mastering on both sides. These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective. Another engineer was then hired to recut a much less "hot" version of the album, and that is the far more common version.

On some copies the Sterling Sound credit, "SS", appears in both runouts following Ludwig's "RL", and on others the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. The "RL" will still appear in both runouts.
Comes in a gatefold sleeve.

This sub should only be used for copies with "RL" in both runouts. Later transitional pressings which featuring "RL" on only one side and another engineer's work on the other should receive their own subs.

"PR" in label matrix denotes a Presswell pressing.
"LW" in runouts indicates Longwear Plating metal parts.
"AT" in runouts indicates Atlantic Studios mastering
"W" in runouts indicates that blank lacquers came from the company Audiodisc.
