‘Mastered At Monarch Record Mfg. Co.’ stands for a ‘Plated At’ role. This pressing is using a french metal work for the side A, which was recut in . The metalworks of Monarch which were used for the other sides of the LP were mixed-up during the pressing. What explains why we can find the side 4 on the side B and the sides 2 and 3 on the sides C and D, whereas this order was not corrected on the sleeve.

    My copy is misprinted : disc 1 has sides 1 and 4 ; disc 2 has sides 2 and 3. Labels indicate the tracks accordingly... pretty strange.
    Does anyone has rhe same ''issue''?
