The only "True" mono versions of this great Monkees LP were released in the US and Puerto Rico. I have copies in mono from around the globe and find all the rest just stereo mix-downs. It is well worth th 60 bucks to get Rhino's "Bird's, Bee's" 3 CD Box set ast the true mono mix is finally on CD for audiophiles like myself.
Thank you genericgeorge. I do have my original LP of Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd. Great music!

This is one of my favorite songs by the Monkee's and shows Pete Nesmith's genius. I have the album too and he is my favorite Monkee!

This is not "Original MONO" source as Brazil pressing....
Original MONO was released in US, Puerto Rico(occupied US), India, Israel, and Australia.
Canada pressed was actually looked real mono but the sound was Stereo source but played into Mono, not real Mono mixing.
UK, too.
Very Very hard to find real Mono mixed vinyl.
Rhino released 3CD set and inclueded real mono mixings, they were copied from ultra-nice-conditioned vinyl.
Because a master mono tape had lost for long years ago.

I had a mono version ,but, it was thrashed.
Apparently a mono version in much better condition can change hands for as much as $100 or more it is so rare.

I noticed that record's in mono. I don't know about the Brazilian version, but the American mono version is quite rare.
