I would love to have a mono copy of this album but I'm pretty cheap when it comes to this kind of thing so unless I get lucky, I'll probably never own one. The best I can hope for is a good digital copy to hear the difference between the mixes.

This
MISPRESS LABEL,THREE HAVE "AN E.M.I RECORDING" AND ONE DOES NOT.A RARE FACTORY ERROR
seems pretty inconsequential in terms of monetary value, but seeing the detail that the guy is describiing everything in, I can see why he made note of it.

It all sounds fantastic but too rich for my blood. I have other things to spend my money, like jazz records!

I agree...but I guess I like how meticulous this guy is...I mean shit, I wouldn't even notice something that...I just want a fairly clean vinyl copy to play.
