Description

Both vinyl and cover is graded as VG with visible marks on media and sleeve as well, and without issues during playing that HOT mastering piece.

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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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 (like this item) the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. The "RL" will still appear in both runouts.

  • Matrix / Runout (Side A Label): (ST-A-691671 PR)
  • Matrix / Runout (Side B Label): (ST-A-691672 PR)

Auction started at low price without reserve, good luck!
