Description
Rare hard-to-find vintage press. Thhe supposed story: This pressing is apparently mastered from un-EQed tapes by Bernie Grundman indicated by the AB prefix in the dead wax. (It's actually AAB with the "B" scratched out) It was ABC's standard procedure to use the album's prefix and stock # (plus other info) in the deadwax of their records. All original LP issues of AB 1006 will have AB 1006 in the deadwax. All later LP issues of AA 1006 will have AA 1006 in the deadwax. However, in order to avoid throwing out a bunch of perfectly good metalwork with AB 1006 already etched in it, some of the earliest pressings of stock # AA 1006 have the prefix changed in the deadwax. The B was crossed out, and an A was added in front to change AB to AA. Eventually all the metal parts made from the original AB 1006 lacquers were replaced with parts made from later cuttings with AA 1006 etched in them from the start. This is one of those pressings. By Goldmine grading, jacket and vinyl are below VG+ condition (ding on the jacket front as shown). LP ships in a protective rice paper sleeve replacing the original inner.
