Finally found one

[qdrone]

Been looking for a Sterling Wiggy of Houses of the Holy by Led Zep at a decent price and just bought one mint for 25.00. This was one I did not want to buy on line, I wanted to eye it in person. Can't remember did this come with a poster?

Sterling Wiggy?

I have a great copy of Houses, not sure if it is a Sterling Wiggy, tho.

Mine has no poster.

Great catch.

Assuming this is Dead Wax reference, I'd always throught the HoH to get had STERLING RL scratched @ the matrix?

That's what I bought. Sterling RL in wax. Wiggy is slang for LudWIG

That double RL cut holds it's own against my other pressing...

A 1974? UK reissue, A4//B1, FOR MARY//PECKO The "FOR MARY" is in Peckham's handwritting...so both sides are "Porky"

Bob Ludwig? Ahh, now I get it.

RL = Robert Ludwig I knew, but not the "Wiggy" sobriquet. Ya learn something every day. :thmbsp:

The RL Sterling of HOTH is the pressing to own. Wonder how the new pressing that's coming out soon will sound in comparison. I still prefer my RL LZII and AT/GP early 70's George Piros cut of LZI, to the new remastered reissued vinyl.

I just got one of these this week. Part of a sweet stack of classic-rock LP's I'm buying from a friend. Also got a sweet Zep I, Zep III, IV, Physical Graffitii, ITTOD, and TSRTS soundtrack. All with the preferred masterings. Still need to find an RL Zep II (AND Presence), but I DID get a pressing from like '74 that will do for now. The important thing was to get a decent-sounding copy of it that I can play on my Dual 1019, which reorganizes the molecules in a different fashion than any CDP or music-server setup. I have probably the sweetest Zep II vinyl-rip ever done, but even that just isn't the same. The Dual fleshes out the old classic-rock LP's like nothing I've ever heard (That's why I put up with all the annoying quirks and maintenance).

This week I also got first-pressing copies of the White Album, Dark Side Of The Moon, The Soft Parade, Beggars' Banquet, and some other goodies.
