Officially, the policy was no unneccessary duplications & no deletions; & given the vagueness inherent in the word unneccessary & that HNH has a plethora of minority labels to keep old recordings in the catalog somewhere, Klaus H has more or less kept within the letter (& perhaps also the spirit - there's remarkably little duplication in full HNH catalog) of his decree.
