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...

Don't know how it compares to the hot stamper but I have a 2002 Classic Records, Bernie Grundman mastered, test pressing on QUIEX SV-P 200 Gram Vinyl that sounds better than any other version I've heard.

I think I'd be willing to part with it for that kind of chicken scratch. 

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...😉

I have an LZII RL pressing (RL etched both sides) and compared to the MFSL, the 180g Classic and the 200g Classic while I owned all four of these pressings. I sold the later three and the RL cut is superb and one of my favorite LP’s in my collection.

Now, I did not pay insane dollars, I spent $80 many years ago for a solid VG+ if not better pressing. Currently, along with many other sought after LPs, the pricing is ridiculous for a half way decent copy. Most of these were played to death on mediocre systems and have been abused.

For someone who must own the best, only they can decide the value.
