STATUS QUO/STATUS QUOTATIONS MAL 1193 (-69) MONO NEW ZEALAND

Posting a quicky on this mono since many collectors don't even know it exists. It's a compilation of numbers from the first two LP:s plus two odd '45 tracks ("Make Me Stay A Little Longer" and "To Be Free") , originally issued late -69 as both stereo and mono on UK Pye's budget label Marble Arch. The album tracks sounds like fold downs, but some from the first LP comes through better here, calmer and more collected. I haven't heard the first press '45 versions, but these may be the dedicated mixes. This New Zealand issue has the same features as the UK one - tracking, label and a stereo cover with a "monaural" sticker. I don't often use the word "rare", it is one of the most misused concepts among record collectors, but I can say this mono is not common. (Also check my posts on the groups first two mono albums.)(DÖW*) (PÖY*) (STÄQ*)
