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.

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.referencing Monster Movie (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Blue (Monster Sky)) XLSPOON4
The description says just „blue“, but my copy is blue/white splatter-ish. Can someone confirm?- Edited 8 months 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. - Edited 10 months ago

This version with the labels and the dead groove etchings exactly as pictured here come often in unlaminated cover too. referencing Monster Movie (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Blue (Monster Sky)) XLSPOON4
My copy is clean and quiet from run-in to run-out on both sides.
But NOT flat. Came with a massive edge warp that tested the tracking ability of my turntable. More so on Side 2 which is the "valley" side: going down-then-up was more difficult than up-then-down on Side 1.referencing Monster Movie (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Blue (Monster Sky)) XLSPOON4
Took a lot of cleaning to get my copy acceptable - not a perfect pressing run by any means.
However! Once cleaned, it's stunning.
You pays your money..
