Description
US 1st pressing (with the 1841 Broadway address on the labels), featuring Robert Ludwig's "hot" mastering on both sides. These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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.
On some copies the Sterling Sound credit, "SS", appears in both runouts following Ludwig's "RL", and on others the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. The "RL" will still appear in both runouts. SEE PICS!
Comes in a gatefold sleeve.
SEE PICS - BOTH VINYL and COVER are BORDERING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN VG and VG+, the LIVED IN Cover has a 4" upper seam split SEE PICS but with this one it's all about the VINYL, and the VINYL PLAYS THRU GREAT. THE SOUND ON THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF BREATHTAKING. Yes, there's an occasional SNAP, CRACKLE, or POP but once the music kicks in it all seems to go away. Drums are punky, and snappy, and the MIX IS INSANELY HOT, Great STEREO SEPARATION and 420 Friendly ;)
If you're looking for perfection (F*ck Off) kindly looks elsewhere. But if you don't mind a LIVED "RL" that you can toss around the man cave or maybe even clean your weed on THIS MONSTER IS FOR YOU !!!
