- You like that stereo mix? Gee, you might as well go back and listen to
- "I Want To Hold Your Hand" from _Meet the Beatles_ instead of _Past Masters_.
- Or "You Can't Do That", "She Loves You", and "I'll Get You" from _The Beatles'
- Second Album_. Or "I Feel Fine" & "She's a Woman" on _Beatles '65_.
- Or "Ticket To Ride" on the American _Help!_ instead of the British.
- Or even better: Listen to Capitol's "stereo" reissue of the United Artists
- _A Hard Day's Night_ soundtrack album - it's nothing more than mono that
- someone continuously fiddled with the balance control on!
-
- My main complaint about the stereo mix on _Rubber Soul_ is that the vocals
- are over in the right channel instead of center. I have yet to get a
- reasonable explanation for why this is. George Martin remixed it for CD -
- why didn't he do something about this?
- Speaking of CD remixing, I think that _Magical Mystery Tour_ was remixed
- as well, even though it doesn't say so. The mixes are a bit different
- than on the original stereo EPs.
