Title: Official Friends Mono Mix? Post by: positivemusic on October 06, 2011, 12:46:00 PM Was Friends originally released in both stereo and mono? I have seen some online listed as "mono," but wasn't sure if these were official or simply fold downs.

Which is pretty ironic as I would love to have the pre-1965 LPs in mono and don't care about a Friends collapsed stereo at all.
