Led Zeppelin II


Greetings and Happy Halloween. I would like to get some suggestions on a good version on Vinyl of Le Zeppelin II. Bought the latest release of 4 and it has no bass at all. Thanks and best regards.

consider a period domestic press. The desired copy is the Robert Ludwig press.

Even with a few ticks and stitches, a period press usually gets my vote over any reissue.

"all my best sounding Zep copies are early pressings and that includes the Classic 45s I own."

whart-never heard the  45s. Being a Zep head, always wondered how it would compare to a clean RL, or,the other early presses? I find 45 reissues of other genres,just off the mark compared to their period original. 

I've compared my Classic HOTH with an RL. The Classic is very good, but it has a subtle "CD perfect" (which may just be in my head?)overall sound. 
The RL seems to have just a little more...realism?


pivetta-The entire catalog is a safe bet, heard on an original pressing.
