Rate your QRP Doors 45's

I think it's been made clear that Chad and the gang hit a home run on these. I thought it would be cool to take it one step further. For those who own at least two of these, how would you rate them against each other. That said, if you have just one, and want to share how it stacks up against a standard pressing, have at it. I rate my QRP's in this order, for sound quality only:
1) Strange Days
2) LA Woman
3) S/T debut

Wow Albert- you guys went to town. Thanks for sharing that. I have what I believe is a first press (Red label) Morrison Hotel. This pressing sounds great to me, which is why I passed on the QRP. The DCC's IMO were outclassed by both QRP, and the first presses I have. I agree, they were warm and pretty, but too much so. Now that I have an original (brown label) S/T, the red label MH, and the QRP's, I am in good shape. Of course, I will always be on the lookout for clean originals. Never could find Strange Days, but the QRP is quite special.

Albert- Agree 100% about Steve being one of the best. I still have, and enjoy, many LP's that he did. I think in some systems, the DCC Doors tonal balance may be a desirable one. He also MAY have not had the original masters to work with, which I know QRP did. This holds true for all, EXCEPT the first album.

I will keep an eye out for the Monarchs. Where does Monarch appear, on the label, or stamped on the vinyl itself ?
