This specific copy is a highly collectible, early US pressing from 1980. It features the definitive "RL" (Robert Ludwig) mastering signature etched into the runout matrix on both sides alongside the stamped MASTERDISK logo. The Robert Ludwig mastering cut of Back in Black is universally praised by audiophiles and collectors as the best-sounding version ever produced, legendary for its punchy low-end, incredible dynamic range, and massive sonic power. The center labels carry the "-AR" suffix, indicating that this copy was pressed at the Allied Record Company.
