    Has anyone else ever encountered a Pinckneyville pressing that contains what is clearly an incorrect mix? I have one that was bought new in 1973 that may or may not have issues throughout but has a couple of whoppers on side two. The most obvious and annoying one is that the backing singers are missing from "Simon Zealotes". So not only is no one singing under the lead for the first verse, but after that when the chorus is supposed to carry the whole thing, there's simply no one singing any lyrics whatsoever.

    Later on the same side during "The Temple" there's something weird going on immediately before "My temple should be a house of prayer." Sounds almost like chanting or something.

    Runout etchings are: "MCA 160-W4 SIDE 2" with the Pinckneyville indicator 180 degrees from there.
