I don’t recall ever seeing an issue of this? Is it just demo stage ?

Lee, there's been a couple of issues sold on Discogs, the last one in 2019.  I agree you see promo's more often than issues.

There could be up to 3 stocker pressing variants as there are 3 for the promos.

But have yet to see a Monarch West-Coast styrene stocker variant if ever...

In the meantime here 2 of the vinyl stocker variants ;

West Coast promo with producer arranger details at the bottom, is there a West Coast issue though? No mention though of it being a Monarch press

No matrix info on this Sugar and the Spices release but other Swan styrene release from the same pressing plant (similar typos and label design of the same 'time' or 'era') like with the 3° Degrees medium hit 'Gee Baby (I'm Sorry) bares this matrix ∆55454X and ∆55454 on the flip.

That doesn’t make it a Monarch press though. As discussed in another topic, if there is no delta number and MR stamp I doubt it being a monarch press.
