[78-L] Story of the LP (queries)

[David Lennick]

1968 was the year American companies stopped issuing new recordings in mono. 
There are some exceptions, and there were a couple of labels that merely 
printed mono labels and mono jackets but pressed from only one set of masters 
(aside from those that proclaimed "compatible mono-stereo"). Some very late 
mono issues are rare because of the artists (I think the Elvis "Speedway" 
soundtrack is valuable in mono).
