"Pressed By" [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/264380-Monarch-Record-Mfg-Co]Monarch Record Mfg. Co.[/url] 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". For early, but not first, gold label Monarch issues that have "(MON-2)" or higher in the runout of side two, please refer to [r4279593]

Some copies seem to come with a sticker on the shrink wrap, see [url=https://www.discogs.com/release/13839806-The-Doors-Strange-Days/image/SW1hZ2U6NDA5MzY5MzE=]image[/url].
