Led Zeppelin 11

Eleven?  There's only one good use for that number.  Maybe the funniest bit ever?

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) ....

It should be written as Led Zep II not 11.

I was able to find pressings better than hot stampers.  The LZII is a sore spot for me as I paid big bucks for a hot stamper after Tom saying it was nearly impossible to find a RL copy in good condition which I then debunked when I bought a nice RL copy on Ebay for something like $200 that absolutely eclipsed the hot stamper version.  It was superior in every way especially in bass and dynamics.  The impact was something else.  I eventually stopped buying hot stampers and found my own for a fraction of the price.

 

$200 is a very fair price for hot stamper quality. Better Records prices are too rich for my blood.

@rlawry  how do you plan on finding your own hot stampers? Are you going to rely on descriptions of used records? You'll end up buying multiple copies.

I have a Presswell copy with narrow deadwax on side 2 that is Mint-[I have several period copies including the old Mofi]; the Monarch is supposed to be the "bomb" but I don’t know if there are any white label promos pressed by Monarch. They changed the mastering pretty fast, though by standards of the industry, they pressed a ****load before they changed the mastering.

The UK plum (by definition, early) is equally bass-y but doesn’t have the high frequencies of the RL.

As to Better Records, no comment. :)

I have a copy of Free’s Tons of Sobs from them and it is the best sounding among three copies here, though I don’t have a first. (bullseye pink).
