Led Zeppelin II on vinyl

@chrisoshea I'm reminded of that famous quote from Abe Lincoln.

@thebrokenrecord this quote?

If you must purchase the 2014 reissues, get the standard copy for twenty-five bucks.  All that extra deluxe stuff is a waste of time(I think), and I’m a fan, saw them twice.  I grew up listening to a copy acquired in the early seventies with the gold record award stamp(George Pirros), and it’s fine, but my Classic reissue 200gm sounds great, but probably expensive today(paid $26.00 new).  I also have a Mofi from the early 80’s, JVC see through Super vinyl.  This one gets some flak about anemic sound, still like it though.  The two RL’s I heard were just too noisy, even after multiple cleaning methods; just couldn’t get past that.  I have to say this: I purchased almost all the 2014 deluxe series Zep LPs.   Besides what I already mentioned, they were simply boring or mixed in a way that differed from the originals.  I sold all of them for half what I paid, and they were hardly played, maybe once or twice for some of them.  Check out Mike, The In'groove from Arizona's video on this Lp some years ago, he runs through all the pressings, plus I thought he had about forty RLs, none of which are really clean, he mentioned.  It gives you an idea of how nearly impossible it is to find a good copy.  And, do you really care?  I mean if Jimmy thought the 2014s were good....................
