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!

@seymour-krelborn You say that like I've never actually listened to the entire album! The whole thing is recorded well, although "Whole Lotta" certainly stands out, which it ought to. It's cut louder than the other tracks.

That’s awesome news! I never even heard side 1 due to scratch that runs across 3/4 of it. Looking forward to hearing it on the copy I just purchased. 

"When I was employed, I was able to indulge myself with White Hot Stampers from Better Records.  I checked their site, multiple times a day, every day.  When I saw that they posted an RL / SS pressing with their highest sonic grade, on both sides, I purchased it.

That was in August of 2015.  The price was $799.99 (a steal by today's pricing, if you can find one)."

$799 today is about $1100. Thanks to all this RL hype, a decent copy will now be $1500? Stamper guy has sharpened his writing skills since 2015. Now he can REALLY sell the sizzle for that steak!
