Led Zeppelin II (1969.) Led Zeppelin's second album.
Following the release of their first studio album in early 1969, Led Zeppelin went right back into the studio and got to work on their follow-up effort, rather unoriginally titled Led Zeppelin II. John Bonham, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant had demonstrated their potential beautifully on their debut, creating an excellent hard and heavy blues-based rock sound that won audiences over almost instantly. How would their sophomore effort, also released in 1969, measure up? Read on and find out.
Led Zeppelin II, for the most part, follows the same blues-based rock stylings of its predecessor, but it throws in just enough new elements to keep things sounding fresh.
Whole Lotta Love, a hard and heavy classic rocker that would go on to become one of the band's biggest hits of all, kicks off the album. When you're starting an album, the first track should always grab the listener's attention and hold it - and here the band succeeded beautifully.
Several hits emerged from this album including the medley of Heartbreaker and Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman), as well as the classic Ramble On.
All of these songs receive classic rock airplay even to this day, and it's no surprise why - these songs flat out rule.
And, of course, the tracks that weren't hits were no slouches either. What Is And What Should Never Be is an excellent rocker that should have gotten more popularity than it did, and even the frequently-bashed Lemon Song is actually pretty good. The album's love song, Thank You, is another masterpiece. Moby Dick and Bring It On Home finish the album off, and do a damn good job of it. All in all, another excellent album that doesn't suffer from that dreaded sophomore jinx.
Should you require additional information or clarification ask prior to bidding.
My records are graded by traditional Goldmine standards. I don't sell records with a grading of less than VG unless it is obscenely rare in any condition.
Most of my records will grade from VG+ to M- with a conservative approach that dictates a borderline record will receive a lower grading rather than a "push" higher.
M- / Visually without blemishes save for very minor lines or scuffs that are most likely attributable to sleeve marks, Sonically with no or virtually no sound other than that of the recording itself (no pops,crackles, ticks or hissing).
VG+ / More obvious visual signs of imperfections, pressing imperfections (bubbles for example, that do not impact play quality) light "skid" marks that can be seen but not "felt", some perceptible noise between tracks or at lead in, general sound quality during play is uncompromising.
VG / Recording is visually and sonically of good quality, without skips or excessive noise during playback. Record may have clicks.
In some extreme instances I will submit a grading of R.M.F. (which means Rare Musical Find) to advise it is something special to consider.
Vinyl and Jackets are graded within these same general guidelines.
All specific areas of concern are noted to the best of my ability.
I try to insure all records are play graded (which I believe most collectors rate the higher priority) by spot checking areas that may be questionable and generally checking for quality overall.
I may make errors in grading and if it should occur I will make every effort to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase.
I ship worldwide, however those outside of the United States and Canada must pay via PayPal.
I will gladly combine winnings to save on shipping costs for you.
Personal Checks require approximately two (2) days after deposit to clear.
I invite questions and will respond in a timely manner.
Insurance is not included although highly recommended to avoid debates that may occur without it (mis-directed package, damaged item, etc.)
Note: due to increases in costs for shipping by the U.S. Postal Service, new costs are now in effect.
Shipping to the 50 states is done using USPS Media Mail rate and is calculated by weight and destination. Rates increase as package weight increases and also depends on which zone you live in. Packaging and handling are $2.75 over the cost of postage.
If you are looking for the cost to ship outside of the United States, please use the shipping calculator.
I usually ship within two (2) days after payment is received.
Shipping elsewhere will be quoted at the end of the auction and will be destination dependant. Most overseas shipments will be done via First Class International which is cost effective and a relatively fast delivery turnaround.
