LED ZEPPELIN LED ZEPPELIN II ATLANTIC SD-8236 PRESSWELL PRESSING HOT MIX “RL” “SS” ETCHED ON BOTH SIDES COVER (GATEFOLD): VG- LP (VISUAL): VG- LP (PLAY GRADE): VG- BORDERING ON VG (w/two skips) —————————— NOTE: A SIMILAR COPY GRADED G WITH SKIPS SOLD LAST WEEK FOR $75…A LINK TO AN AUDIO FILE WAS INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION…THIS LP SOUNDS MUCH BETTER…ALSO, SKIPS ON THIS HOT MIX ARE MORE LIKELY WITH A SUBPAR TURNTABLE WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE…PERHAPS ON A MORE SOPHISTICATED TURNTABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ADDITIONAL CLEANING, THE SKIPS MIGHT BE ELIMINATED… —————————— For those unaware:
When "Led Zeppelin II" was first released, legendary mastering engineer Robert Ludwig cut the lacquers using the master tape. The story goes that Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun gave a copy to his brother Nesuhi to give to his daughter. Her "kiddie" phonograph couldn't track the record, which had been cut with full dynamic range and bass response..
The label panicked, and recalled the record, which was re-cut with less bass and lesser dynamics, which is the version most people bought. However, some "RL/SS” mastered originals got into distribution and are "out there.”
In short, this version is declared by many to be the best sounding version of this iconic album!
IMPORTANT STUFF - This has been fully play tested. On Side One, there is a short skip on “Whole Lotta Love”…On Side Two, there is a short skip on “Heartbreaker”…Overall this still has the loud & dynamic sound it is known for and plays at VG- bordering on VG, the two skips notwithstanding…
