Description
ULTRA RARE LP - LED ZEPPELIN II - PROMO US 1PRESSING WHITE LABEL ATLANTIC 1969 TOP AUDIO
FIRST PRESS Original 1969 US PROMO STEREO issue,
Notes
White label promotional variation with "Sample Copy Not For Sale"
Both side matrix have Robert Ludwig RL
US 1st pressing (with the "Mfg. By Atlantic Recording Corp., 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y." address on the labels), featuring Robert Ludwig's "hot" mastering on both sides. These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective. Another engineer was then hired to recut a much less "hot" version of the album, and that is the far more common version.
On some copies the Sterling Sound credit, "SS", appears in both runouts following Ludwig's "RL", and on others the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. The "RL" will still appear in both runouts.
This sub should only be used for copies with "RL" in both runouts, as only these are the true "RL" pressings which command hundreds of dollars (albeit in Near Mint condition). Later transitional pressings which featuring "RL" on only one side and another engineer's work on the other should receive their own subs.
White label promotional variation with "Sample Copy Not For Sale", "RI" suffix in matrix numbers (indicating 'pressed by' Philips Recording Company, Inc.), and "Mfg. By Atlantic Recording Corp., 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y." printed on labels.
Issued in a gatefold sleeve with rotating-wheel feature, with tracklisting sticker on cover, and includes a 'From The Atlantic Catalogue' full-color printed paper inner sleeve.
