Early press information:
This is the early pressing mastered at Sterling Sound by Bob Ludwig denoted by RL on side one and by Lee Hulko denoted by LH on side two.
Lee Hulko was in charge of remastering some of side two which was the side that was causing the troubles with the original 2-sided RL mastered versions.
Ahmet Ertegun brought home a copy for his daughter, it skipped on her turntable, so he had it recut to be less dynamic and less fleshed out in the bass.
It was certain parts in Ramble On and Moby Dick which were causing the needles to jump on certain turntables when the record first came out because of the bass. So, they had Lee Hulko remaster side two.
Labels include "CTH" suffix (indicating Terre Haute pressing) and "Mfg. By Atlantic Recording Corp., 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.".
The dead wax side two is slightly narrower than that on side one.
Later press information:
If this doesn't have "SS RL" and "SS LH" etched in the run-outs then it is a repress - remastered at Atlantic, rather than Sterling Sound.
Around 200,000ish pressings were done of Robert Ludwig's 'high mix' which, like Hendrix's 'Ladyland' 1st masters, caused some poor-quality phonograph needles to 'skip'. Thus, a repress ordered by Ertegün at Atlantic.
