For me, the point here with LZII is what Atlantic did by overreacting to Ludwig's very full sounding cut (which is very clean with full bass and excellent dynamics). Atlantic gutted the bass on subsequent masters. Unfortunate. So, for this particular Lp it may be worth finding an "RLss" copy or acquiring the Classic reissue mastered by Grundman. My original 1841 Broadway label has "RLss" s.1 and "ss LH" [Lee Hulko] s.2. Hulko and Ludwig were both at sterling, and both sides seem sonically equivalent to me, so I suppose he & Ludwig mastered this disc by the same playbook.

On some of the other AES clips with Ludwig, you'll hear him say he was also about "getting out of the way" when he was handed a really well recorded and mixed master. He's a fascinatin' guy.
