Led Zeppelin 2 First pressing

Maybe rock-n-roll is finally going out of style? Lord knows the talent pool dried up long ago (10,000 new bands in the Tower records rack and not a single new "Satisfaction"?) Give up you hacks!!!

David 99, Even though Zep was a Brit band, Atlantic Records was an American Company. The first US copys are the preferred closest to the Master tape copys. The UK pressings are NOT as good, even though this is a Brit band.
I have never seen a red/purple (1960s)Atlantic label on Zep 1 or 2. Usually the only way to tell on Zep 1 or 2 is to look at the inner sleeve where you will find all of Atlantic"s 1969 and 70 current releases. This is the only way. I don't remember any particular Mastering house marks on the inner label for you to look for. Anyway, one of the few times Mobile Fidelity did not botch up the Mastering was with Zep II. If you find a copy of that, grab it. I think it beats my original issue. "Thank You" was incredible on the MFSL version...........Frank

Dweller-I have to disagree.Rock'n'Roll lives and breaths! MANY "new" bands worth listening to also,but lots of crap out there too.If you arent into rock then cool.If you are then listen to some new music.There are a couple (at least) threads on modern rock recommendations..Thanks Frap,great info! LONG LIVE ROCK!!

I just got an e-mail from the seller of the Lp in discussion.He relayed to me first pressings of Led Zeppelin 1,2 and 3 on Atlantic Records have on the label the address 1841 Broadway.Later pressings have the address 75 Rockerfeller Plaza.Anyone know if this is correct? I just want to know what I am getting.My copy is a bit beat but for $6 for a mint minus copy Im happy regardless.
