"Pressed By" Monarch Record Mfg. Co. from "MR" in the runouts.
Runout details: everything is hand etched except the pressing plant ID "MR", which is stamped on each side.

Single jacket with full printed paper inner sleeve, containing lyrics and a photo of the band on flip-side.

The MON-1 side two mastering is notable for a defect at the beginning of the side -- a fluttering drop-out in one channel during the guitar intro to "People Are Strange."

I can combine shipping for all records won by a single buyer, except for International sales (outside the USA) as Ebay does not allow it. Buyers inside the USA: after winning all the auctions you're interested in, let me know you want me to combine the items for shipping and I'll send you a combined invoice.
Records will be expertly packed. In most cases I will separate the vinyl & inner sleeves from their covers.

I will generally always ship using USPS Media Mail unless the buyer selects USPS Ground as the shipping option. Obviously for any records or group of combined sales that are high valued, I would recommend selecting USPS Ground shipping as it is automatically insured up to $100.00 and arrives faster than Media Mail shipping.

FYI: USPS does not automatically include insurance with Media Mail and reserves the right to randomly open Media Mail packages to insure the sender is not trying to cheat USPS by shipping something other than Media. Insurance for Media Mail can be added for a low additional cost if the buyer requests it.

I am in the process of selling my entire record collection - save me as a seller if you want to be notified of future listings as I post them. I've got some great vinyl coming up! I will sometimes reference Discogs' notes on my records to inform price values beyond regular pressings.
 
I strive for Positive 5 Star ratings. Thanks for looking!
