    Monarch press. And you can hear it. A bona-fide classic obviously, but this press does it justice IMO. Exceptional SS, separation and mix. It grooves, kicks, cooks, swings and swoons especially well here. You can get this cheap and if you can find a clean copy, highly reco to snag this sublime baddest of the bad mothaaa-(shut your mouth!) soundtracks, grab it!
