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.
