Turning our attention to one of the absolute pillars of rock music, we highlight a specific US pressing of Led Zeppelin’s second studio album, Led Zeppelin II. This copy bears the standard Atlantic catalog number SD 8236 but features specific details that make it a classic find for collectors.
This 12-inch vinyl LP features the classic green and red Atlantic labels. Crucially, it bears the “1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.” address text along the bottom rim of the label. This Broadway address distinguishes it from later pressings that switched to the Rockefeller Plaza address, placing this release in the early era of the album’s history (late 60s to early 70s).
Another notable feature of this particular copy is the presence of a hype sticker on the outer cover. This is likely the “Gold Record Award” sticker, which began appearing on covers after the album quickly achieved RIAA gold status following its release in late 1969.
Musically, this album defined the hard rock genre. Produced by Jimmy Page and housed in a gatefold sleeve, it features the legendary lineup delivering iconic tracks like Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Living Loving Maid (She’s Just A Woman), and Ramble On.
SD 8236 is a quintessential album for any vinyl collection. This specific Broadway address version, complete with the hype sticker, perfectly captures the look and feel of Led Zeppelin’s dominance during the golden age of hard rock.
