In the 70's due to requirements of the Trades Descriptions Act, or
somesuch, the great minds of the record industry in the UK decided that,
with the exception of important classical archive recordings, they would
release no futher mono material. This was also of course a great money
saver, as it removed the necessity for duplicity at the pressing plants
with two presses being required for simultaneous pressing of mono and
stereo versions of the same LP.

I hope you didn't actually mean "duplicity". :-) I was never a fan of
EMI
pressings, but I don't know if I'd go that far.


Gosh sorry. I was not thinking in English, and was trying to avoid the word
duplication. as it has other meanings in the production context.
Just to put the record straight I meant that it avoided the necessity of
having two presses producing different versions of the same LP.
