Description
Notes True first pressings, as here, have '(MON-1)' in runout of side two. 'MON-1' side two mastering is reportedly closer to the master than subsequent issues, and does sound brighter with better detail. The MON-1 side two mastering is also notable for a defect at the beginning of the side -- a fluttering drop-out in one channel during the guitar intro to "People Are Strange". For early, but not first, gold label Monarch issues that have "(MON-2)" or higher in the runout of side two, please refer to The Doors - Strange Days
A lyrics inner sleeve was included.
The left side of the label has no text at all. 'Stereo' in a broad font on the right hand side of the spindle hole.
Engineered at Sunset Sound Recorders, Hollywood. Mastered at Madison Sound, New York. Barcode and Other Identifiers Matrix / Runout (Runout etching side A): EKS 74014A (MON-1) ?11050 Matrix / Runout (Runout etching side B): EKS 74014B (MON-1) ?11050-X Matrix / Runout (Runout stamped side A & B): "MR" in a circle
