WHEELS OF FIRE IS ONE OF THESE ALBUMS WHICH SOUNDS MUCH BETTER IN MONO THAN IS STEREO & WHEN YOU ASK ME, THE ONLY WAY TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM IS IN MONO!!! THE MIX ON THIS UK MONO LP IS DEFINITIFELY DIFFERENT TO UK STEREO COPIES, ALSO YOU CAN NOT COMPARE IT WITH ANY OTHER PRESSING!!! DUE TO THE AUDIO SEPERATION AND THE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MIXING ON THE STEREO COUNTERPART, SOME SOUNDS ARE MORE IN THE BACKGROUND AND/OR ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE!!! AGAIN, THE UK MONO MIX IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND MUCH BETTER LISTEN - TRY IT AND YOU´LL GIVE ME RIGHT!!! UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER PRINTED IN ENGLAND AND MADE BY "ERNEST J. DAY & CO. LTD."!!!

EARLIEST EVER A1/B1-A1/B1 MATRIX ENDINGS AND "1"/"1"-"1"/"1" MOTHER STAMPERS - ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER MAKES THIS COPY TO ONE OF THE EARLIEST (FIRST FEW HUNDRED) PRESSINGS!!! COMES COMPLETE WITH BOTH ORIGINAL & CORRECT UK INNER SLEEVES!!! PLEASE NOTE: TO FIND A TRUE UK 1st PRESSING WITH THE SO CALLED *SILVER FOIL* COVER IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE & THIS IS THE MUCH RARER MONO PRESSING TOO!!!
