      My Matrix is:
      Side A: 12 EMI 5429 A-6U-1-1-15 ARUN
      Side B: 12 EMI 5429 B-5U-1-1-0 ARUN (The 0 could be a C)
      Label has "the monkey mix" so it's the more common label but my sleeve does not have "The Monkey Mix" This is my original copy, so at some point early on they switched out the error labels and sleeves but not at the same time. Interesting!

            "Secret Oktober" is their best B-side, and one of the better tracks to come out of the Seven & the Ragged Tiger sessions.
