THIS IS THE LEGENDARY ”HOT MIX” PRESS THE ORIGINAL BOB LUDWIG MASTERING; HIS INITIALS (R)OBERT (L)UDWIG ARE STAMPED IN THE DEAD WAX TRAIL-OFF VINYL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD.

US FIRST PRESSING (WITH THE 1841 BROADWAY ADDRESS ON THE LABEL) FEATURING ROBERT LUDWIG’S ‘HOT’ MASTERING ON BOTH SIDES. THESE WERE WITHDRAWN EARLY BECAUSE THE HIGH BASS LEVEL CAUSED LOW-GRADE CARTRIGES TO MISTRACK, LEADING PEOPLE TO RETURN THE ALBUM ON THE BELIEF THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE. ANOTHER ENGINEER WAS THEN HIRED TO RECUT A MUCH LESS ‘HOT’ VERSION OF THE ALBUM, AND THAT IS THE FAR MORE COMMON VERSION.

COVER IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK (CELLOPHANE) WRAP. THE SHRINK IS FULLY INTACT WITH THE ORIGINAL BREATHE HOLES. THE FRONT COVER.

NOTE: THESE ARE THE REAL IMAGES OF THE ACTUAL ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON

UNDER EXTREMELY STRONG LIGHT NOT NATURAL DAYLIGHT YOU CAN SEE SOME VERY LIGHT SURFACE HAIRLINES THAT ARE NON FEELABLE, THERE IS ONE VISIBLE HALF AN INCH LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE, WHICH DOESN'T AFFECT THE SOUND. THE HAIRLINES APPEAR FAIRLY INSIGNIFICANT TO THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE VINYL, WHICH LOOKS GREAT, WITHOUT ANY VISUAL FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS. THE ORIGINAL LUSTER IS FULLY INTACT AND THE VINYL SHINES AND SPARKLES LIKE NEW. THE SOUND OF THE VINYL WAS TESTED. THERE IS LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF SIDE ONE AND THE MIDDLE PART OF SIDE TWO, OTHER THAN THAT THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT WITH VIVID, COLORFUL AND MELLOW LOW BASS.
