The Birds, The Bees

Mono Mix
In 1968 Colgems/RCA ended the production of mono LPs and over the years
collectors realized that the mono version was much harder to find.
Many foreign countries pressed this LP in mono, but not all have the unique
dedicated mix
found in this USA pressing. The fake mono was created
by condensing
the stereo mix into one channel.
I can confirm that New Zealand released this in mono,
but have not been able to secure a copy to listen to the mix.
I have personally owned each and every one
of these and can verify the mixes.
