That’s Klaus for you.
LOL, that’s some entertaining camera work!
One of the most solid basslines I’ve ever heard.
No probs here…….My Thorens 160 Super played it just fine…….the 45 and the album version(Some time in New York City)
These are considered the best versions of LZ II to get, if you can find one. It will say “Sterling RL” in the deadwax.
I think if you played it on a quality turntable (such as I have here) it won’t skip. Portables like that aren’t built that well, and if you have a record that was mastered rather loud, they will skip easily. There were issues with the mastering of the second Led Zeppelin album, that had trouble tracking on low-quality record players. It was mastered as loud as possible by Robert Ludwig.
I also have my copy of “Cold Turkey” that has a skip on it. I have it on one of my 45’s. I will put it on my video response after I will be playing it on my ‘75 GE Wildcat portable stereo record player.
I, also, ended up with ’several’ copies of “Cold Turkey” and they all skipped in the same area, on “Cold Turkey” each copy also. only on that song…
ME TOO! Thought I was the only one………..just assumed my copy happened to have a scratch where it skipped!
It’s a different kind of heavy breathing though, about going thru drug withdrawls. Not about other things like the other songs you mentioned.
And let’s not forget, “Sexy Eiffel Towers” by Bow-Wow-Wow.
I have the original 45 of that song, but it says “Play Loud”. This was one of the songs that Martin didn’t like it at all. Martin had mentioned on his solo Beatles CD collection video that “Cold Turkey” was the worst song ever made. It does have heavy breathing at the end, just like Donna Summer’s “Love to Love You Baby”, Poussez’s “Come On and Do It” and Chakacha’s “Jungle Fever”.
Well, I said MOST original copies, because I knew most pressings that people had were from Scranton, but some didn’t have the skip (the Los Angeles copies). Thx for the info!
P.S. On that West Coast pressing, if the playing arm doesn’t track properly, the record does skip one – but John does sing it as “Cold Turkey” after the end of the third verse.
Actually, it was East Coast pressings from Scranton, PA with lacquer number S45-47025-X6 (as written on the deadwax) that have this skip. West Coast pressings from Los Angeles (S-45-47025-W-3) play all the way through with no skips. All lacquers were cut at Capitol’s New York studios.
I’m reading Philip Norman’s John Lennon The Life so being able to flip open the laptop and listen to the songs mentioned kind of adds a neat dimension to it. You sort of hate John for splitting from the Beatles but you can’t help but like his solo stuff which always exceeds those who describe it. I guess his music was sort of like a live experiment illustrating itself and since that message was peace that is what gave it its life. He would have hated my mentioning the Beatles.
The defect is natural. Most original copies from 1969 have that skip on it! So don’t worry!
SAME HERE ALSO…and I have a number of copies.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!
i have that version on an album- it’s a live version; he did a fund raiser for ta menatally retardation and mental health cause in NYC.
I have 2 versions of it posted. Look in the related videos to the right, or check my channel.
A very damn good description of heroin withdrawls to a catchy riff.
i remember don’t worry kyoko. i regret listening to it on acid once and again listening to her when i mixed shrooms with jimson weed.
DARN IT! My copy of this has a defect where, at 3:01 in this video, it would sound like “Cold Tea Has got me on the run.”
What a nightmarish record. That just peeled my skin off.
