[Orb] MONO?!?!?!

I'm showing my lack of time on the list but I had no idea that AAI was released in mono. Why? Are there any interviews concerning this you can point me to? My copy is definately in stereo. It's from Deviant Records DVNT12CD.

Also, does anyone know if Auntie Aubrey's Part 1 has been re-released in stereo?
