Good shine on the lacquer. Good punchy bass and great guitar high tones. Great example of the RL Hot Mix.
Side 1:
3 skips
A1:Background noise 3 on a scale of 1-10
A:2 BG noise level 3.5 but obviously louder in the quiet parts.
A3: 2 Skips in intro. BG noise: 4
A4: 1 Skip BG noise level 2 but is obviously louder in the silent parts of the song. It’s barely noticeable in the loud parts.
Side 2:
No skips. Clear shine on lacquer. Minimal surface scratches. Great feel it in your chest bass.
B1: 4 on a scale of 1-10 for Background noise. More noticeable in quiet parts.
B2: BG noise: 2
B3: BG noise: 2
B4: BG noise: 2
B5: BG noise: 3.5
Cover: VG- seem splits at the top (not the bottom) of the front and rear of the gatefold. No Hype sticker showing it was a very early pressing. Characters on the spine are clearly visible. No drawings, ink marks or names on the cover. Inside seam does not show any seam splits.
The MO-Monarch pressing is the most sought after version of the RL. 12 million in sales and only the first 200,000 or so are RL SS copies (less than 2%) and a majority of these are poor to fair condition. This version of this album has become one of the holy grails for audiophiles. Some mint condition copies have gone for $4500.
