Led Zeppelin 11

I am generally looking for feedback on whether this record for sale at better records is worth the $2499 asking price...will it retain or even go up in value due to the fact that it is not only a good copy, but also a "white hot Stamper"? A good investment or crazy spending? 

Hmm, I have not noticed anything amiss in the runout grooves of any of my "better records". Id have to say, his records do sound better. I’ve spent what amounts to a small fortune on his records, and I’ve been very satisfied with what I received.

@edcyn is that the RL pressing you did a needle drop on?

@bdp24 I just again checked about 6 better records pressings, 5 out of 6 have the dead wax info intact,, nothing added or omitted. On 1, there are some scratch outs of some info, but who ever did it did not do a good job obscuring it, as it is still readable. I do believe that when you look at discogs, which I often do, they indicate in the fine details of each pressing, that some info in dead wax is scratched out and something added beside it. However, this is done at the pressing plant. Scratch outs are not uncommon. I'll give Tom the benefit of the doubt, as only 1 out of 6 had something scratched out. 

Makes me wonder about the white hot stamper of led zep 11, I mean I’m sure to be chosen as the crown jewel winner of the shootout, which I assume was compared to other RL’s, it must be something special.....I guess you would then own the King of RL’s....at least among the runner ups listened to...as there is always another king in the wings...who knows.

Looks like it sold...guess I'll never know...😉

@bdp24 no problem, you had me worried! I cannot say for certain that it was or was not scratched out by him, but like I said, I only found that one....I’d still have to check like 20 something others I bought...yes, fake stereo seldom sounds very good, although I have heard a few exceptions that did sound OK I’ve been burned a few times, or I should say I burned myself when buying in some thrift shops. They tend to have lousy lighting and my eyes are not what they used to be. So, when I returned home on a few occasions and re-inspected what I bought, to my horror, there it was in small print, re-processed or electronically re-processed for stereo, ugh! luckily I only paid a buck for most.

Hahaha it was supposed to say Paultry....freaking spell correction on cell phone. Oh well, I'm sure someone will grab it, I crazily gave it some thought....

Lol...I'll have to invest in a dictionary...

Jeez excuse me for living, so I learned something, I’m not an English major, and it was not a joke or no joke, stole that from Biden. People have butchered posts far worse than mine....the point I’m trying to make is its a crazy expensive record and his copy is the most expensive I’ve seen. Now I will go to the blackboard and write the word PALTRY 100 times, after the nun is through wacking my knuckles....tough crowd...

I have that and it is terrible, no bass detail or texture ... it can’t compare to the RL.... I may give the JP remaster to my daughter...it has no life to it at all...Michael Fremer compared numerous pressings of this record, the RL came out on top. He also spoke favorably about the Orange and green UK Atlantic label, the UK plum label, as well as the classic records release...

@johne15 lol, I could have used that as an out!

It’s zep 2 or 11 or II, not eleven...I’m just saying. Hey, they gave me crap for poultry lol...and then the misspelled paultry (paltry) and the misspelled whacked (wacked) ....

My God, a few spelling errors and wow I put 11 instead of II...jeez, I think most knew what I meant! Talk about an anal bunch...no wonder people leave this place. ..two of my errors were by my freaking phone assuming things and making changes to what I typed. Also, I’m quickly typing out a post on a tiny phone keypad OK? I’m not submitting something to be graded on, who gives 2 sheets? I’m generally a terrific speller 😁. As far as boring, well that is subjective. Seems to me quite of few responses for such boring content. Led Zeppelin -II- was one of, if not the hottest pressed lp’s in the history of analog records by Robert Ludwig, also responsible for Houses of the Holy, and AC/DC’s Back in Black lp. I won’t bore ya’all with any more...I think my writing and thoughts are far more coherent than some people who post on here, just saying. Happy hot stamper hunting, if you got the time..I don’t, so I blow big cash on them, who cares, I’m not poor...you only live once. Some blow their money on gambling and have little to show for it...could be spending money on worse things.
