Anyone know why the MHS label covers were always black and white?

I love finding old scores of MHS stuff for 50 cents in NM condition. The stuff in the 80's was also pressed on translucent vinyl. I have an 80's Holst/The Planets that is the best I have ever heard.

And really, so many classical music sleeves have cover photos of scenery that has nothing to do with the music. Sometimes I get a chuckle.
Some of those MHS pressings are damned good, BTW. I've got the Bax symphonies, some of them on Lyrita and some on MHS. The Lyritas are more expensive but the MHS were either pressed by Lyrita or pressed using the Lyrita stampers.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

Back in the 2000's when I was still buying used LPs, I would scarf up MHS baroque albums up for $1 and most were Near Mint or better. The folks who unloaded them took exceptional care of their LPs.
