Led Zeppelin II Robert Ludwig Hot Mix 1st Press 1969 SD 8236. With original Atlantic house inner. This album sounds awesome and if you've never heard the "hot mix" you will not be disappointed!
Matrix:
Side A Runout: ST-A-691671-A PLW W AT RL Side B Runout: ST-A-691672-A PLA AT RL SS

Grading:
Sleeve: VG+ with slight discoloration on spine, some pressure indentions on back and top LH corner on the front. Looks like pen indentions, but no ink transfer. Gatefold has a little tear in the spine where it looked like the paper stuck and pulled back. Does not come through the other side. All defects mentioned can be seen in the photos. This is a CRAZY super-clean cover. The whites of the sleeve are not dirty and a very faint rub mark on the bottom of the back sleeve. 
Record: VG with scuffing and non-feelable scratches on both sides. There is one mark that goes from label to the outer edge, but not feelable. Make no mistake, there are marks and scuffing on this album - it's hard to show them in the photos, I want to be perfectly clear that this is definitely a VG grade. I have play tested this album before listing, here's my notes:
Side A: slight crackle, with a few pops here and there. No skips. Side B: Less crackle than Side A. No skips.
This record will be shipping Priority Mail and insured.
Shipping:
I have been shipping records, comic books and artwork for 23 years on Ebay - your package will be packed with care to ensure your item arrives safe and sound. If you record is not sealed, I will remove the album from the sleeve to prevent seam splits. Your record will come in a poly sleeve. It will be mailed in a record mailer, not cobbled together pizza boxes. I will treat your record with respect and get it to you properly.
You will be provided a tracking number by Ebay.
Payment:
Please pay within 4 days. After 72 hours, eBay automatically opens a case and will cancel the auction and I will relist. Unfortunately, I do not have time to police this on behalf of Ebay, so If you can’t pay within 4 days, please do not bid.
I’m not responsible for any state sales taxes - Ebay does this on their own accord. Please factor this into your purchase. This is a new thing for Ebay and I have had multiple problems with non-paying bidders not wanting to pay additional money on the auction due to the sales tax.
Feedback Policy:
I strive for 100% satisfaction with all of my listings. I try to list all information and details regarding the item sold, but please understand mistakes happen, and I am not in charge of the post office. I am also not Amazon - if you have a porch pirate problem, it is your responsibility to accept your packages or make arrangements with your postal carrier to deliver when you’re home. If you’d like to pay for Signature Confirmation, I am happy to do that and let you know what that fee is. If you cannot come to terms with that concept or personal responsibility is not your thing, I’d appreciate you not bidding. If everything went well - it will be greatly appreciated if you leave accurate feedback and ratings regarding your transaction, I’ll do the same.
