Kindly help. How do I determine if the pressings are mono or stereo in the absence of specific label?
TIA!

Listen to the lead vocals! If you only can hear the singer out of one speaker: Mono! If you can hear the lead vocals out of both speakers:Stereo!
If you stand in front of the stage at an acoustic live concert you hear mono. Take this one for exercises: Beatles, Please please me

What is the difference between mono and stereo?
Mono uses one, stereo uses more than one. In monaural sound one single channel is used. It can be reproduced through several speakers, but all speakers are still reproducing the same copy of the signal. In stereophonic sound more channels are used (typically two).
switch your receiver/preamp to MONO and then see what happens

You're right, i only hear MONO, if the receiver/preamp is switched to MONO.
But if the receiver/preamp is not switched to MONO, but to STEREO then ChitoBG is possibly able to solve his problem. He wants to know, if the pressing is a MONO or a STEREO pressing, if it is not noted on label.

If, in switching a pre-amp from stereo to mono while playing a vinyl disk, the only apparent difference is that the crackles and pops move completely to the center, it's likely a mono pressing (only left/right groove modulation... no vertical). If other voices/instruments/sounds move to the center, then it was likely a stereo (or at least 2 channel) pressing.
