Led Zeppelin II Atlantic Records, SD 8236, 1969, Broadway Address Original US First Press, Bob Ludwig "Hot Mix", RL and SS on Both Sides SUPER RARE
The HOLY GRAIL of Zeppelin releases. This is the heavily sought after Robert Ludwig mix that was too hot and punchy for 1969 stereo equipment, and because of that, recalled. There are rumored to be less than 50,000 that were originally sold, and probably less than 1/3 of that still in circulation today. Tiny numbers for a record that has sold tens of millions by this point.

ATTENTION: Many have asked for a play grade. I would still grade this VG+ all day. The playback was loud and gorgeous with minimal to no background noise. Only thing to note was a slip about 2 seconds into the first song on side one...after that playback was STUNNING!!!
