This is half of the very much sought-after and rare Robert Ludwig superb first cut of the album (rightly considered the best mastering ever of this Lp, which was pulled off very quickly after consumers complained the vinyl skipped on loud passages; the average 1969 turnatables just couldn't handle it!), sadly this is only the Ludwig cut on side 1, very rare nonetheless. Side 2 is the SS LH cut which followed RL. Note that the side 1 is the most dramatic difference beetween the first cut & the second one.
Grading:
Sleeve: EX+. Very clean, no crease or wear, some yellowing and paper tear thoughout spine, not split open though.
Record: EX+. No spindle mark. No marks, regular sleeve scuffs. Supreme audio on side 1 of course (Loud!), also superb on side 2.
(Using Record Collector Grading System below. I am using CONSERVATIVE grading, will not grade a record Mint if it is simply EX like may others would. Don't be afraid if I mention clicks, 99.9% of vinyl have them!)

Secure in cardboard Lp mailer, USPS Media for US, 1st Class for overseas.

Record Collectors Grading system
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. Booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any moajor defects is acceptable Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
