Stereo copies of the first 3 LPs are harder to find
as mono was produced and sold in far greater quantities.

1968 Second Presssing Back catalog number & copyright
RCA used the "RE" (revised) after the catalog number to indicate
that there had been a change to the album jacket.
This updated copyright puts the release between their Pisces LP (November 1967)
and
Instant Replay (February 1969).
More about these changes.
This version is easy to spot with the big Colgems circle
in the bottom right-hand corner.

Due to the extremely high demand for the Monkees records
RCA subcontracted with other plants.

The pressing rings are 25mm but there is no mark
in the dead wax
to indicate a pressing plant, so these are not confirmed.

MGM used a block "S" in the dead wax;
though some copies are
missing this
and just have the "R" for Rockaway.
MGM used the metal stampers from the nearby Rockaway plant.
The pressing rings are 32mm wide.
