I am puzzled: Why would someone of du Pré's stature be recorded in MONO in 1968?

Beats me. She was born in 1945 so not old enough to have recorded in the 50's. I remember from my younger days that EMI and other labels issued mono & stereo versions of recordings in the 60's but not sure when the practice ended.

I'd hazard a guess in this case that the stereo tapes were not good enough for e-mastering so SG & friends elected to go with the mono tape? Pure speculation of course, with no supportive evidence.

Who said anything about mono?

JPC: Detailinformationen . . . Tonformat: mono (Hybrid)

--But it appears to be a mistake from lazy sight-reading of "Georg Monn". I finally found the LP listed as "stereo": http://www.musicstack.com/item/13557202.

Might be better to keep an open mind until confirmed from an independent source. My earlier comment may still apply.

Maybe if Simon Gibson is watching he could clarify.. please?
