For sale is a Led Zeppelin II LP - SD 8236 - Robert Ludwig Hot Mix and older Broadway pressing from 1969.
The cover is VG- with shelf-wear; slighting staining on the front, minor ring-wear, a 3" push-through on the bottom, corner wear, and some edge-wear.  "Biaggi" is also written in ink on the front cover (visible in picture). Inside of the gatefold looks great!
The inner paper sleeve is the original and is in decent shape.  There are 2 push-throughs.
The LP is G++/VG.  Side One is G++ with scratches and scuffs.  There is a scraping noise that occurs during the first half of Whole Lotta Love.  There is crackling throughout Side One that is noticeable during the songs.  It does improve during the latter half of that side.  Side Two is much better - VG. There is crackling, but it does not overwhelm.  There is no skipping. You can listen below. The labels look great, except for "Biaggi" which is written in ink on Side One.

I listened to this entire record to ensure an accurate grading. The degree of surface noise is system-dependent and varies according to turntable/tonearm combination, phono cartridge, and phono stage.

I'll ship this securely in a LP mailer.  If you have any problems, contact me.  I'm easy to deal with.  Thanks!
