Good eye on the Bob Ludwig.  That does make it more collectible, but they both have RL in the deadwax.  Other one is not visible. The comment about the runout being narrower is the key.

 

Someone added the RL in the wide deadwax record. A true RL has wider groves making the deadwax narrow and a more dynamic sound.

So you might be right about the fake RL.  It sorta makes sense that he would not master the 2nd pressing.  And yes to the main point. The narrow dead wax indicates it’s the RL hot mix.  Worth a google search but essentially it was so dynamic that people complained about the bass making their needle skip.  It was thought defective!

The only time my RL copy skipped is when I added too many Irish Whiskeys to the tonearm 😆

I went by the (STA 69 1672 PR) number on the lower part of the label and cross referenced with the photo 

 

But you are correct that the inscription on the dead wax is the most accurate way to find the exact pressing

Yes, the "hot" lp has RL on side one as well. The other LZii has an etch that I mistook for an RL.

[Mycuff]

Here is the original pressing side one.

I started with the GRP Allstar Band , this live Album was recorded in Rotterdam ( The Netherlands ) in 1985 and I was there ! 

 

 

Than I spun the Live Album from George Benson Weekend in LA 1977 

 

 

followed by Al Jarreau´s first european live concert tour in 1977 , started in Berlin

In the late afternoon I continued with the bristish jazz funk band Level 42 and their Album Physical Presence from 1985

 

 

later Marvin Gaye´s Last Concert Tour , recorded in Indianapolis in 1983

 

 

and finally Miss Millie Jackson " Live and Uncensored " , her voice was compared to these from Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner , I mean she has a great voice
