Cover has edge/corner wear, soft corners, small stain/discoloration on the bottom corner - no splits (see photos).   Vinyl is in very good condition - scuffs & marks that may cause background noise especially in between songs, but no skips or repeating ticks.  Company has minor creases/wear at the opening and partial splitS on 3 sides. 

The record has been lightly cleaned by hand, a more complete cleaning may be warranted 

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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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

Some copies came with one or two hype stickers: one mentioning Whole Lotta Love and the other with a tracklisting.
