STEREO / MONO LP

It appears that Imperial / Liberty (U.S.) neither mixed a mono master or released a mono version of the LP.

Foreign subsidiaries instead folded down the stereo master #12406 for mono and / or mono/stereo compatible releases. (This is unverified)

GOLDEN GREATS does not use the mono-only 45 mix of "You Better Sit Down Kids"

Label timing for "Needles And Pins" (2.26) represents the short fast mono 45 - the track is actually the stereo LP version (2.47)
