Cover: VG+ (light ring/storage wear, light edge wear, three inch top seam split, one inch spine split)

Record: visually VG to VG+ with light marks and a name written on the Side 2 label. Plays VG+ with just some light background noise in a few quieter spots.

US 1st pressing, 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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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.

Labels include "MO" suffix (indicating Monarch pressing) and "Mfg By Atlantic Recording Corp., 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.". On all matrix Side A and Side B there is "MR" in a circle that identify a Monarch pressing. RL and SS etchings on both sides. Includes the original Atlantic inner sleeve.

This LP has been professionally cleaned on the most thorough setting with a Klaudio ultrasonic cleaning machine. Really nice sound after a good deep cleaning!

Grading:

NM Looks unplayed or perhaps played just a few times. The cleanest grade I give and very rarely used.

VG++ (same as EX) Very light surface marks often from the inner sleeve that do not affect play. Perhaps a very light tick or brief moment of barely audible surface noise at the very worst. Overall a very clean record.

VG+ Light surface noise during a quiet moment or two. Might play with a few light pops here and there but nothing sustained over more than a few seconds.

VG Surface noise is more pronounced or more frequent than in a VG+ record, but never skips or overtakes the music. Might play with some light pops or ticks for a minute or two at a time. Still an enjoyable listen.

VG- A filler copy. Will play with louder pops or ticks than a VG record and surface noise might compete with the music during the quieter moments. I will only offer a record in this condition when its scarcity demands.

I am offering free shipping on all additional LP's going media mail within the U.S. No matter how many LP's you buy, the total shipping cost will be the amount for the first LP. Domestic Priority mail is also available but please ask for a quote.

I combine costs on international shipping. Please ask for a quote or invoice when buying multiple LP's from overseas.

All records will be shipped in standard LP mailers with cardboard fillers so rest assured your record will arrive safely!

Getting (and giving) positive feedback is important to me. Check my feedback so far. Have no doubt I will do everything I can to make our transaction go smoothly!
