Description

Led Zeppelin II - Robert Ludwig - Monarch Press - Ultra Sonic Clean - VG+.
If you're reading this ad you know what this is - it's the best sounding press of arguably Zeppelin's best album. The RL - Robert Ludwig - cut of Zep II has been a treasure for collectors for decades because of it's "hot" super loud in your face mix. All the stories are true. This pressing will bring Zeppelin into your living room. And your neighbor's living room too! :)
What makes this pressing even more special is that it is a Monarch press. When UK bands cut an album, they always sent the master tapes to Monarch in California for distribution. So Monarch albums always have the best sound because their albums were pressed from the master tapes. Other pressing plants got copies. 
So this copy is the best mastering from the best pressing plant. 
I gave this copy a 30 minute ultra sonic clean so it is super clean. The vinyl is graded at a conservative VG+ due to some crackle during some of the quiet parts. Most of the album plays VG++ on my system. It has scuffs on it but nothing that overpowers the music. It's the classic case of an album that plays way better than it looks.
The jacket is VG++ as shown. 
You'll never hear this album sound better than this RL Monarch press.
