The distinguishing features of the Loud Cut 1st pressing typically show -1/-1, show the left side album side ("1") aligned to the right and have a space after the song name and the " * ".  This is -4/-4 but has the right alignment and the " * ".  The first pressing loud cut is the only pressing to have this alignment and, more importantly, the " * ", therefore this is almost certainly the loud cut.

The Ernest J. Day sleeve is in EX condition with some browning on the back but otherwise very nice.

 

The labels show light spindle markings and are in VG+ condition.
