Led Zeppelin II - Robert Ludwig 'Hot mix'

Led Zeppelin II 1969/70 early German pressing

Note - Robert Ludwig ‘Hot mix’ on side 1 Only

‘AT RL’ etched in dead wax run-out on side 1 which signifies this is the original Ludwig mix.

Rare to find, especially at this price. Open to reasonable offers. Bundle deals available when combined with other listed items.

Condition. (As per Goldmine grading spec)

Side 1 ( the side that matters)
VG+
The RL mix Sounds great !!
Clean apart from some hairlines.
Plays through really well - no skips, pops, except once at end Thank You’ where it sticks during the fade out at the very end.

Side 2.
VG
Visually fine but unlike S1 there is more audible surface noise prevalent through out.

However mastering mix on side 2 is muted & dull anyway, and nobody buys this particular pressing for side2. This is all about the amazing RL ‘hot’ mix on side 1,.

The original US 1st pressing (& also German) which have the RL mix on both sides now sell for circa €800 in VG/VG+ condition, which is out of reach for most people. This will get you half the RL mix at about 1/10th of the price so it’s a bargain.

There is plenty of info about the German 'RL' pressings online..
