Description
A rare mono pressing of this iconic LP. The matrix is etched 1/A on both sides, which denotes the very first master. Evidently, this is also a West Coast pressing. The mono mix sounds punchy and great throughout. The record has very light surface marks that generally have absolutely no effect on playback except for very light, occasional background crackle. The only notable scratch causes a light recurring click in the intro of "Old Friends." I'm grudgingly grading it as a strong VG, although it's closer to VG+ by most standards. The cover has no splits, but note the ringwear and the little bit of flaking at the very bottom of the front. Does not include the poster.
