Led Zeppelin II 1969 Double RL RL/SS Hot Mix Presswell PR VG+

$

800

Parting ways with my original 1969 U.S. Atlantic Record pressing of Led Zeppelin II, catalog number SD 8236, featuring Robert Ludwig’s desirable mastering on both sides.

Identification

* Side 1: handwritten RL
* Side 2: handwritten RL SS
* Side 1 label matrix: ST-A-691671PR
* Side 2 label matrix: ST-A-691672PR
* Pressing plant: Presswell
* Original Atlantic 1841 Broadway labels
* Original gatefold jacket
* Original Atlantic catalog inner sleeve included

This is a genuine double-sided RL hot mix. The SS Sterling Sound marking appears on Side 2 only; the RL mastering initials are present on both sides.

Vinyl condition: VG+

The record retains good gloss and displays numerous superficial sleeve scuffs and light hairlines under strong direct lighting. The vinyl was deliberately photographed under revealing light rather than photographed only at flattering angles.

I do not see any obviously deep scratches. Please enlarge and inspect every photograph carefully, as the photographs form an important part of the condition description.

Jacket condition: VG

The original gatefold jacket remains structurally presentable but shows age-related wear, including:

* Edge and corner wear
* General surface wear
* Wear around the opening
* Visible discoloration or staining on the rear panel

The interior gatefold remains attractive. Please review all jacket, seam and corner photographs for the exact condition.

Inner sleeve

The original Atlantic promotional/catalog inner sleeve is included. For shipping, the vinyl will not be placed inside the original inner sleeve or jacket.
