Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 2 First US Pressing - Robert Ludwig Mastering. Stereo, "RL" Cut, PR - Presswell Pressing
Contains the coveted RL in the dead wax and the removed from sale mastering. This LP rocks! Only selling as I purchased an upgrade copy.

Media Condition: Good Plus (G+) - Scratches, scuffs - plays well. Surface noise in quiet passages, however the LP is mastered loud so is not a problem when the full band plays. There is one skip during The Lemon Song, however does not stick.
Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG) - 
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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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.
Comes in a gatefold sleeve. 
LP cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner.
