You are bidding on the ultra rare Led Zeppelin II Robert Ludwig mastered "Hot Mix" 1st pressing. This version has RL on Side 1 and RL SS on Side 2. It is a Presswell pressing as indicated by the label matrix number which is ST-A-691671-PR, side 1 and ST-A-691672-PR, side 2. There are scratches and marks visible on both sides but I have play tested this on my system and here are the details:

Side 1 - Light surface noise present between songs and in quieter passages but the HUGE Soundstage shines through. The drums and punchy bass are incredible to hear. All songs play through except track 4 - "Thank You" -- two skips affects play.

Side 2 - Light surface noise present between songs and in quieter passages - all songs play through except track 5 - "Bring It On Home" - there is a skip on the very last verse of song. 

"PR" in label matrix denotes a Presswell pressing.
"LW" in runouts indicates Longwear Plating metal parts.
"AT" in runouts indicates Atlantic Studios mastering

Overall - Despite the three noted skips that only affect two songs, a very pleasurable listen and great example of why this pressing is so highly sought after. I would rate the overall condition of the record as VG- to Good+.

Cover: Original heavy card stock matte cover in very good condition. No seam splits to gatefold and light wear to upper spine. Some faint marks on front and small stain on back cover. Original inner sleeve not included. I will include an archival anti-static sleeve in its place.

Please see all photos. I did include the RL in the dead wax. 

Record will be shipped with protective archival sleeve and packed carefully - Media Mail via USPS.
