RL Led Zeppelin II Question

He probably won't be your friend after you telling him! More of a big price record dealer!

Took me two years, but I finally found a two-sided RL--cost me $9 and is VG with some light surface noise but no pops or clicks. I was skeptical, but it sounds phenomenal. Can't wait to compare it to my @TGP and the one-sided German RL I found a year ago.

 

Found one last week in a collection of about 50 records. Even though he had at least 12 Beatles and the RL LZ II they were all in horrible shape. What a shame. He said someone offered him $50 for the bunch. I told him he better take it.

 

And K is not an original. Plum Label distributed by Polydor is original in the UK. And no UK has an RL mastering. K= Kinney or Warner Communications.

 

I was lucky enough to find a decent RL. I understand the love for this now.

Before that, I found this. Is this a Piros cut?

 

Yes that's a George Piro, my other pressing.

 

Nice photo!

 

Laura, MYKE,

Thanks!

 

You're welcome. I remember shortly after joining last year, and getting my RL from an eBayer, I asked " should I dump my Piro ? " And got a resounding NO !!!!

 

I'll add my 2 cents here:
Bob always inscribed his initials at 6 o'clock.

 

Is this the case?

 

That's what someone in another LZII RL thread said. I can't confirm or deny it as I don't know enough about USA vinyl pressings, but certainly avoid the German RL as side 2 is awful.

 

Few more question . How do you recognize Led Zeppelin ll mastered by RL / SS 1st pressing and the HOT MIX ? Which one is the corrected " LOUDER " version ? Would you please tell me which one is THE ONE to get ? Also how do I find out it's which one by Monarch press and Terra Haute press ?
Matrix numbers are ....?
I will appreciate it , thanks in advance .
