    I have an OG Monarch (stereo) and this OG Allentown (Mono) pressing --I prefer the rawness of this Mono mix vs. the Monarch Stereo. It sounds other-worldly, darker & with more 'punch' = aka, more "Doors-esque" especially for the material of their first album.

      Interessting article on how Bruce Botnick has recorded and mixed the album: https://magazine.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/bruce-botnick-the-doors-interview/

        Ce presage sera une imersion dans le studio de mixage avec les membres du groupe, en mode expérimental. Mixage inégal et spontané du début. Ecoute aux casques recommandée. Vous voilà en 67

          My copy has the labels reversed.. Side A is on Side B and vise versa.

            My copy matches the runouts of this variant, and FYI, Break on Through is censored.
