    Mucho better than my Japanese and GP cut.

    It isn't hard to recocognise-
    these things are clear to all from
    time to time.

      Not sure what was all the hype about. Words words words

        Phenomenal soundstage on this (RL) album, great vocal clarity, and fantastic bass on this pressing, a must have for any Zep Fan!

          I compared it with my UK 2n pressing K 50014 PECKO and the result was that the US 1st RL sounded considerably better. The 2nd UK sounds good, I would say 8.5/10 but the RL sounds 9.5 or even 10/10. Listen, one day.. in a near future.. this release will be considered as a museum artifact.

            clean sounding, fantastic dynamics. Classic S tier Robert Ludwig mastering.

              Impressive sound on this 1973 pressing. Plenty of bass, great dynamic range from top to bottom, and a really robust and full bodied soundstage. My copy plays nice and clean with light surface noise throughout.

                Wonderful pressing. Sonically, a great version. Dynamic and punchy. Surprisingly low noise floor in silent parts on my copy. Best version I've heard of this album. Recommended if you can get a VG+ or NM. I have a NM copy and don't think I'll ever rid myself of it. My go-to for Houses of the Holy.

                  Is this Robert Ludwig mix as good in quality as the Led Zep II version by him that is so highly regarded? I think they call it the "hot" mix, with RL in the runout code.
