Notes
Recorded at Schloss Nörvenich on July 25th,1969, Monster Movie was originally released on Music Factory (20), in a private edition of 500 copies. Subsequent German releases on Liberty/UA GmbH used the original Music Factory masters, and retained their SRS 001 matrix inscriptions through at least 1975.
The Liberty/UA German pressings follow a linear chronology, beginning in August 1969:
Monster Movie has title+credit on one line / 'Liberty' rim text / printed by Linnepe / laminated
Monster Movie switches title & credit to two lines
Monster Movie introduces 'United Artists' rim text
Monster Movie introduces 'Druckhaus Maack' printer credit
Monster Movie switches to unlaminated sleeve / introduces new A-side cut
Many early Liberty/UA pressings carry an 'Electric Rock' sticker, in one of at least two designs. These correspond with a promotional campaign around Liberty/UA's Electric Rock (Idee 2000) compilation, issued in 1970. They are not however a reliable indicator of pressing date, as they appear on the earliest first pressings documented here, and may have been in use as late as 1973.

The second to last in VG+ conditions has been sold at more than 12.000€ and the last one in M conditions for 59,00€. What the heck is happening here? Maybe it's just a re-balance of the Force in the universe.
My theory is this was pressed by spoon from the master but because it used the original art and label that they did not own the rights to it's unofficial. Spoon is in the runouts, definitely worth keeping

I’m glad I finally bought this. Like the other recent Can reissues, it sounds great. Awesome music.

Any idea what year this one is? I'm thinking like 1976-1978 but I'm not sure.referencing Monster Movie (LP, Album) LBS 83342 I
Can't believe that nobody has said this yet. But this pressing sounds astoundingly good!!!referencing Monster Movie (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Blue (Monster Sky)) XLSPOON4
Is this pressing pressed at Pallas? The US versions are listed as Pallas pressed, but the EU/UK versions aren't. I'm just wondering if it's just something that's been overlooked in the notes.

The description says just „blue“, but my copy is blue/white splatter-ish. Can someone confirm?
How come this isn't blocked but the unofficial reissue I have, by the same people, is??- Edited one year agoRIDICULOUSLY ahead of its time. Or, more rather, WE are ridiculous for thinking we were being clever with post-punk a whole ten years later. Nuff said.
Super clean, quiet pressing. Not the loudest of audio signals but I haven't heard an original to compare. This has been cut really nicely with clarity, warmth and a nice authentic bottom end. Very happy.

This version with the labels and the dead groove etchings exactly as pictured here come often in unlaminated cover too.
