ATLANTIC RECORDS SENT THIS PROMOTIONAL COPY EXCLUSIVELY TO RADIO STATIONS. ONLY FEW OF THESE PROMO COPIES WERE TRUE MONAURAL MIX PRESSINGS, WHICH ARE BECOMING IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. MONO VERSION OF THIS ALBUM WAS NEVER COMMERCIALLY RELEASED IN ANY WAY OR FORM. THE RECORD IS PRESSED ON A THICK HEAVY DUTY INFLEXIBLE VINYL WHICH WAS USED FOR THE FIRST OR VERY EARLY PRESSINGS. THE SOUND ON SUCH A THICK VINYL PRESSING IS DYNAMIC, VIVID, AND EVEN DRAMATIC. ANY DIGITAL COPY IS INCOMPARABLE TO THE OUTSTANDING ANALOGUE SOUND OF THIS PRESSING
