Notes

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These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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, such as this, the "SS" appears only in the Side Two runout. 

The "RL" will still appear in both runouts. 
Only copies with "RL" in both runouts are the true "RL" pressings. Later transitional pressings which featuring "RL" on only one side and another engineer's work on the other are not true first pressings.

Vg vinyl play tested.

Many tracks play even better, VG +


Some edge & disk wear to cover.

Gatefold spine strong.
