In 1968, Roulette, as with other labels, began issuing albums in "stereo only," stopping the practice
of issuing albums in both mono and stereo. Roulette started their "stereo only" issues by changing the
series number from 25000 to 42000. In 1971, perhaps to simplify the number of digits that had to be
written in ordering records, they again switched series, to a 3000 series.
