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 These were withdrawn early because the high bass levels caused low-grade cartridges to mistrack, leading people to return the album on the belief that it was defective.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.".  On all matrix Side A and Side B there is "MR" in a circle that identify a Monarch pressing.

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

Runout details are etched except for the Monarch logo (MR in a circle) stamp.
LW etching appears sideways compared to other text.
