Description
Led Zeppelin II RL SS ~ Rare 1st Press ~ Ludwig cut WOW! This is the infamous HOT MIX by Robert Ludwig: RL SS on Side One and LH SS on Side Two. VERY RARE PRESSING starting at a low price!
This is the early pressing mastered at Sterling Sound by Bob Ludwig denoted by RL on side one and by Lee Hulko denoted by LH on side two. Hulko was in charge of remastering some of side two which was the side that was causing the troubles with the original 2 sided RL mastered versions.
Ahmet Ertegün brought home a copy for his daughter, it skipped on her turntable so he had it recut to be less dynamic and less fleshed out in the bass. It was certain parts in Ramble On and Moby Dick which were causing the needles to jump on certain turntables when the record first came out because of the bass. So they had Lee Hulko remaster side two.
Labels include "CTH" suffix (indicating Terre Haute pressing) and "Mfg By Atlantic Recording Corp., 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.".
VINYL G+/VG (Many light needle marks on both sides as seen using super bright lights; only two small marks as seen using normal light)
COVER VG+/EX (Really nice)
The vinyl was cleaned using an ultrasonic VPI cleaner and placed in a Mofi type anti-static sleeve. The cover will have a 3mm plastic sleeve. The item will be shipped with a very thick, sturdy box via USPS with insurance. Rest assured, it will be packaged beautifully!
