Description

Oh goodness.  Led Zeppelin "II," original 1969 Bob Ludwig pressing - contains the initials "RL" in the deadwax (area just around the label).

 A Led Zeppelin II with the initials "RL" in the deadwax is unanimously considered any Led Zeppelin collector's pride.

His pressings are widely known for booming sound and the feel of a recording studio.

That is, grabbing a "GP" (George Piros) is a nice find; owning a "RL" is the true gem of any record fan (please google "Robert Ludwig" or "Bob Ludwig" to confirm this data).

  • Second studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin;
  • Production was credited to lead guitarist and songwriter Jimmy Page;
  • The band's first album to reach #1 in the UK and the US;
  • Since its release, writers and critics have always cited it as one of the greatest and most influential rock albums ever:

Side One:
1. "Whole Lotta Love" John Bonham/Willie Dixon/John Paul Jones/Jimmy Page/Robert Plant 5:34
2. "What Is and What Should Never Be" Page/Plant 4:46
3. "The Lemon Song" Bonham/Chester Burnett/Jones/Page/Plant 6:19
4. "Thank You" Page/Plant 4:49

Side Two:
5. "Heartbreaker" Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant 4:14
6. "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" Page/Plant 2:39

9. "Bring It On Home" Dixon 4:19

The centre labels are identical, including the printed matrix numbers "ST-A-691671-MO" and "ST-A-691672-MO" at the bottom of the centre labels.  This indicates original record pressing at Monarch Record Manufacturing Company.

Clean Very Good + to Excellent quality.  Light background noise.  PS: does a Mint or Mint + from over 40 years ago exist?  I have yet to see one.
