Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Nice condition Japanese pressings from the 1970s are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Thank You

It must have totally blown some minds when it hit the streets over 47 years ago ~ and still does today! This is the powerfully good second album from the mighty Zeppelin. It must have totally blown some minds when it hit the streets over 47 years ago — and still does today! “Whole Lotta Love” in particular is a psychedelic hard rockin’ piece of amazing music — and the rest of the songs ain’t too shabby either… There’s the hippy anthem “Ramble On”, the spectacular blues number “What is and What Should Never Be”, Page’s showcase “Heartbreaker” and even a drum solo, in the form of Bonzo’s “Moby Dick”. John Paul Jones plays some lovely organ on the ballad “Thank You” and Robert Plant shines throughout. All in all, ‘Led Zeppelin II’ is one hell of a good album that deserves all the praise and sales it has garnered over the years.

Led Zeppelin II provided the blueprint for all the heavy rock bands that followed it… Recorded quickly during Led Zeppelin’s first American tours, Led Zeppelin II provided the blueprint for all the heavy rock bands that followed it. Since the group could only enter the studio for brief amounts of time, most of the songs that compose II are reworked blues and rock & roll standards that the band was performing on-stage at the time. Not only did the short amount of time result in a lack of original material, it made the sound more direct. Jimmy Page still provided layers of guitar overdubs, but the overall sound of the album is heavy and hard, brutal and direct. “Whole Lotta Love,” “The Lemon Song,” and “Bring It on Home” are all based on classic blues songs ~ only, the riffs are simpler and louder and each song has an extended section for instrumental solos. Of the remaining six songs, two sport light acoustic touches (“Thank You,” “Ramble On”), but the other four are straight-ahead heavy rock that follows the formula of the revamped blues songs. While Led Zeppelin II doesn’t have the eclecticism of the group’s debut, it’s arguably more influential.
