Original release, Monarch Record Mfg. pressing. Side A stamped S6-748S1-2657-S-06B △21529, side B …2658-S-06B △21529-X — the delta number ties the lacquers to Monarch specifically rather than just identifying the album. Part of a West Coast pattern in the collection: Some Girls is Monarch too, and Love You Live came from PRC Crompton. Consistent with buying at Rasputin in Berkeley, since West Coast distribution drew on West Coast plants. Jr. Walker’s tenor is also the one place where the soul shelf touches the saxophone thread running through the jazz side.
