I'm going with '66 true mono and '69 faux stereo, due to
the studio's reluctance to invest in new stereo recording equipment versus
the record company's greed to cash-in on the expanding stereo replay market.
Hopefully EAC will have created left and right channels which are effectively the same due to being from a singular mono source.
All a bit academic now. The conversion sounds okay to my ears, on my equipment, in my room. Job done and move on I guess.

Managed to download SoX despite
http://sox.sourceforge.net/ currently experiencing problems, "The sourceforge.net website is temporarily in static offline mode. Only a very limited set of project pages are available until the main website returns to service."
http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourcefo...e-restoration/
http://sourceforge.net/ allowed me to search for "SoX" leading me to
http://sourceforge.net/directory/os:...updated/?q=SoX and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/?source=directory, so thanks, I'll have a play with SoX the next time I need to process files and time allows investigation.
