Description
This auction is for Led Zeppelin II, Atlantic SD 8236, Robert Ludwig 1st Pressing Hot Mix in Very Good Condition! Identified as follows:
US 1st pressing (with the 1841 Broadway address on the labels), featuring Robert Ludwig's "hot" mastering 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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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.
On some copies the Sterling Sound credit, "SS", appears in both runouts following Ludwig's "RL", and on others (this one) the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. The "RL" will still appear in both runouts.
"PR" in label matrix denotes a Presswell pressing.
- Matrix / Runout (Side A Runout Variant 2): ST-A-691671-A LWP W AT RL
- Matrix / Runout (Side B Runout Variant 2): ST-A-691672-A LWP AT RL SS W
