Treasures from Grandma's!!!
1969 Led Zeppelin II Robert Ludwig Hot Mix LP Atlantic ‎Records SD 8236 VG/VG RL
Clean cover with shelf wear & some creases - soft corners but no splits (see photos).  Vinyl is in very good condition - scuffs & marks that may cause background noise especially in between songs, but no skips or repeating ticks. 
*Note - although we do quickly clean all of our records in store, it is recommended to reclean when you receive them for optimal performance.
Notes 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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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 the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. The "RL" will still appear in both runouts.

"RL" in both runouts, as only these are the true "RL" pressings which command a premium. Later transitional pressings which featuring "RL" on only one side and another engineer's work on the other.

"PR" in label matrix denotes a Presswell pressing. "LW" in runouts indicates Longwear Plating metal parts. "AT" in runouts indicates Atlantic Studios mastering "W" in runouts indicates that blank lacquers came from the company Audiodisc.
