This is a rare Led Zeppelin's second self-titled II vinyl LP record album referred to as the "Robert Ludwig Hot Mix". It's a First US Pressing with Robert Ludwig's "RL" mastering initials and "SS" Sterling Sound credits in the roundouts. These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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 the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. The "RL" will still appear in both runouts.
This album has its original "Aretha Franklin Lady Soul" inner sleeve.
