LED ZEPPELIN II 1969 ATLANTIC ROBERT LUDWIG “RL” STAMPS EXC! US 1st pressing (with the 1841 Broadway address on the labels), featuring Robert Ludwig’s “hot” mastering and RL 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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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. PERFECT VINYL FOREVER ARCHIVE CLEANED SHIPS IN DISKEEPER SLEEVE. OWN one of the GREATEST sounding and collectible LPs of all time! I have owned 3 copies of this LP and heard many others. All have had some degree of background noise that is not distracting during playback. This s the quietest, best-sounding copy I’ve heard! This one has been played very sparingly, as the clean spindle attests. Side 2 has a visible hairline between Moby Dick and Bring It On Home that cannot be felt with a finger and is NOT AUDIBLE. Gatefold is sturdy and clean, corners are shockingly good, has coloring in the light areas on front cover. Borderline NM to me, but being conservative.
