Description

Vinyl: G+/VG- , plentiful scratches and marks on surface, borderline VG in louder areas, surface noise and ticks/clicks only distracting in quieter moments and in between songs. Small ticks interspersed. Sounds great and bass boosted during most of the songs(louder parts). No skips on my system, but it may or may not skip on your system. 
Sleeve: VG- , staining on front/back/inside cover, peace sign drawn on back, edge wear on seams, small piece of tape on bottom seam, 
This is a must listen, especially in songs that have prominent bass and drums. Here is more info and details on pressing information/matrix.

Notes

Early press information:
This is the early pressing mastered at Sterling Sound by Bob Ludwig denoted by RL on side one and by Lee Hulko denoted by LH on side two.
Hulko was in charge of remastering some of side two which was the side that was causing the troubles with the original 2 sided RL mastered versions.
Ahmet Ertegün brought home a copy for his daughter, it skipped on her turntable so he had it recut to be less dynamic and less fleshed out in the bass.
It was certain parts in Ramble On and Moby Dick which were causing the needles to jump on certain turntables when the record first came out because of the bass. So they had Lee Hulko remaster side two.
Labels include "CTH" suffix (indicating Terre Haute pressing) and "Mfg By Atlantic Recording Corp., 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.".
The dead wax side two is slightly narrower than that on side one.
