$

190

I am the original owner of this item, bought new and played twice! Classic Records SD 8236 mastered by Bernie Grundman. This is the the FIRST pressing by Classic Records of Led Zeppelin II on 180 gram vinyl. Many feel this pressing is the most desirable - both in rarity and in sonics.

Includes the record, cover and insert. All items are rated as near mint, but are essentially new.

Dead Wax Info:

Side A: SD-8236-A BG
Side B: SD-8236-B BG

What makes this listing “Unobtanium” is in addition to the vinyl album, you are also getting access to a 24bit/96kHz hi-res digital download rip of this pressing done by Jack The Ripper (JTR). Jack has been ripping vinyl for years and utilizes a top-notch analog rig and impeccable processing all done by hand thru industry leading software. Basically, this means you will have a digital version of this wonderful vinyl pressing that rivals a CD in terms of noise - clicks, pops and other abnormalities normally associated with vinyl are removed leaving only the glorious music.

Send me a message after the return period for this item has expired for information on downloading the digital rip.????
