Description

SEE PICS - BOTH VINYL and COVER are somewhat "LIved in" BORDERING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN VG and VG+ BUT GRADED VG+ BECAUSE IT PLAYS CLEAN !!! VINYL w WISPY INAUDIBLE HAIRLINE TURNTABLE WEAR (Under harsh light) THAT DOES NOT AFFECT ... PLAYS THRU CLEAN !!!

THE SOUND ON THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF BREATHTAKING. Drums are HOT and PUNCHY, BASS booming and the MIX IS INSANELY HOT, Great STEREO SEPARATION and 420 Friendly ;)

If you're looking for perfection kindly looks elsewhere. But if you don't mind a LIVED IN "GERMAN RL" that you can toss around the man cave or maybe even twist a fatty on THIS ZEPP MASTERPIECE IS FOR YOU !!!

Sounds virtually identical to US RL pressing.
Side A of this rare reissue was pressed from the original stampers used to press the original US 1969 RL copies before they were recalled. These metal parts were sent to Germany in 1976 for this reissue. Side B sounds just like the "corrected" masters reissued later in the US 1969 (Al Brown mastered side B)
