Not sure. It could be a tape copy made for Japan in the LP years.
But the most important information about this SACD is that it uses a mono tape, while the recording was made in stereo.
In the 1960s, there were seperate mono and stereo LP releases, because not all turntable cartridges could play stereo LPs. Some mono LPs used a seperate mono mix made during the recording (interesting for collectors), while others just used a fold-down of the stereo recording.
