LED ZEPPELIN II LP 1969 ATLANTIC SD 19127 VG Presswell Pressing
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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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.
"PR" in label matrix denotes a Presswell pressing.
"LW" in runouts indicates Longwear Platingmetal parts.
"AT" in runouts indicates Atlantic Studios mastering
"W" in runouts indicates that blank lacquers came from the company Audiodisc
