Description
Led Zeppelin II 2 RL Robert Ludwig “Hot mix”. This is the CTH (Columbia Terre Haute) pressing Side 2 has the standard characteristic narrow deadwax as well! -->This is NOT the RL/LH version of the same pressing plant.<--
Cover does have the GOLD RECORD AWARD, which is unusual. This may have been applied at store selling album. Original inner liner as well in nice shape.
US 1st pressing, featuring Robert Ludwig's "HOT" mastering on both sides. These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to miss-track, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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. Playing the HOTMIX and Standard remix side by side, and same volume is an eye opener!
Labels include "CTH" suffix (indicating Columbia Terre Haute pressing) and "Mfg By Atlantic Recording Corp., 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.". Matrices on Side A and Side B have RL SS is present in the deadwax.
Matrix Side 1: ST-A-691671-1A RL ss T.
Matrix Side 2: ST-A-691672-1A RL ss T
