AS MONO WAS BEING PHASED OUT IN AMERICA IN LATE 1967, MONO COPIES OF THIS TITLE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RARER THAN THEIR STEREO COUNTERPARTS FOR NOT MANY WERE PRESSED BY CAPITOL. THE MONO PREFIX AND NUMBER "MAL 2835" IN WHITE PRINT IS PRESENT IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF THE BACK COVER. "MONO" IS PRINTED IN BLACK AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT END OF THE BEAUTIFUL SOLID SPINE.

THIS MONAURAL ISSUE IS THE ULTRA-RARE JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS PRESSING (INDICATED BY THE MACHINE STAMPED "0" IN THE RUN-OUT GROOVES) AND IS QUITE A FIND INDEED. THE FONTS ON THE LABELS ARE QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE EAST AND WEST COAST ISSUES. ONLY A HANDFUL OF THE JACKSONVILLE ISSUES HAVE SURFACED, AND THIS IS THE FIRST WE'VE EVER OFFERED. THIS EXAMPLE IS A STELLAR MINT MINUS UNPLAYED GEM.

THE NEAR MINT COVER REMAINS IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP, WITH A FEW SHRINK TEARS, INCLUDING A 9" SHRINK SEAM TEAR ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE IS NO AFFECT TO THE COVER AT ALL, THE GATEFOLD REMAINS CLOSED SHUT, AND THE REST OF THE SHRINKWRAP REMAINS INTACT. THE COVER IS STUNNING WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AT ALL. THE BOOKLET IS FIRM IN THE GATEFOLD AND HAS NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY.

THE ORIGINAL CAPITOL GENERIC WHITE INNER DUST SLEEVE IS INCLUDED IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
