Led Zeppelin II on vinyl


How good or bad are the remastered versions? 
This in example…

I know it’s a digital remaster. Worth getting or should I hunt down a reasonably priced (if there is such a thing) US 1969 pressing?

Any thoughts from Zeppelin fans? What versions are good sounding? Not looking to pay obscene amounts of money for this…thanks!

It’s got to be well recorded to enjoy the music. Not saying any crappy recording will do. I wouldn’t start this thread if I thought otherwise 
Remaster is my last resort. That I can listen to in digital. 

Keep the Classic RI on your list.

I found one for cheap (in OLD downtown Bakersfield,CA 15 years ago? )before scoring the RL. If you never heard an RL, the Classic is quite good. 

Comparing the 2, whole lotta different. Not "better" but to my audiophool ears, bass, drum impact of the RL more convincing.

Never heard the Classic 45 series of Zep.

Well, you said you're not looking to pay "insane amounts of money" for a copy, which suggests that you're not in the market for an "RL" "ss" copy which is the best version out there. Meanwhile the 2014 Page remaster is the next best option. It will certainly sound better than the Classic records version being mentioned here which is terrible.

@thebrokenrecord I just bought a VG+ on Discogs of the exact same pressing (at least based on description) I have. Since I liked the sound I figured I’d start there. I might give the Japanese pressing a try at some point as well. The RL is out of the question for me unless I accidentally stumble upon it on garage sale or some flea market which is near zero chance as I don’t do those.
