    my copy needed one HELL of a cleaning session, but once you do, you'll very quickly realize that the original monarch pressings are without a doubt the best sounding to anything else. I've had an early presswell repress with similar runouts to the original, and while that's still really good as well, this is just that bit better in every regard.

      This is a solid pressing, it suffers from noisy vinyl and a bit of a harsh cut. Otherwise, everything is well balanced and sounds great. Its hard to find a clean copy but I bet whoever has one will cherish it forever. Will confirm its a Monarch with a gold stereo sticker on the cover, I believe its the same sticker they would end up using on Love’s “Forever Changes”
