This is the very hard to find Robert Ludwig hot mix.  The sleeve is very nice. I would say VG+ on it and has the original inner sleeve. No seam splits. See the pics for detail.
Unfortunately the record has problems but only on the last track of each side. Side one (Whole Lotta Love side) plays excellent with a minimum of clicks.  Listen to the second track from this side "What is and Should Never Be" in its entirety here. There are quite a few quiet passages so you can get a feel for background noises. Use something decent to listen, not a phone. Pretty clean sounding since most of these pressings I have seen in the past have been really rough. MP3 was created with audacity with default settings.

Unfortunately "Thank You" on this side plays but with distortion.
Side two is the same story, first four tracks play great until "Bring it on Home" This one track has lots of stripping and pretty much unlistenable.
My setup is a SAM Renegrade turntable and Ortofon Blue cartridge tracking 2 grams. This record may sound better or worse on your particular setup and I offer no guarantee whatsoever.
