Description

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

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

His pressings are widely known for unmistakable quality, 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
7. "Ramble On" Page/Plant 4:34
8. "Moby Dick" Bonham/Jones/Page 4:20
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.

Record is in excellent condition, plays without "cracks" and "pops" while on a quality record player.
