Up for sale is this POWERFUL SOUNDING 'Led Zeppelin II' stereo LP issued in 1969 in The United States with the RL "Hot Mix". The record played in very good+ condition all the way through on my Thornes TD 320 turntable. There is only a bit of background noise in between tracks & quite passages such as the song "Thanks You'. The Rockers play in great LOUD sound from 'The Hammer of The Gods'. Even John Bonham's drum solo on "Moby Dick" really kicks. Jimmy Page told Robert Ludwig to mix it Loud & Hot and that is exactly what he did. The Terre Haute Indiana pressing record has 'RL SS" in the matrix on side 1 and 'SS LH' on side 2.  Robert Ludwig confirms that this is the true "Hot Mix" Sterling Sound Pressing. The 'LH' on side 2 stands for Lee Hulko, which was Robert Ludwig's partner at the time. All versions from Sterling Sound are the same "Hot Mix" cut from the same original metal lacquers. The matching original gatefold cover is also in very good+ condition with some edge wear & wear to the bottom of the spine. There are no seam splits. Also included is the original company inner sleeve. This album will be professionally double boxed for shipment through USPS priority mail. Thanks Frank
