To Gene: For many a year, I was always curious why (early) The Beatles stereo mixes were lopsided, like vocals in one stereo channel and music in the others, until I found the multi-tracks. Long story short, it's difficult to remix to "true" stereo, because whatever was done (primarily) to Ringo's drumming, disallows decent stereo mixes. That is really sad. I have to assume George Martin is to blame. I heard he would do anything to increase the sound a DB or two, even if it meant screwing with Ringo's drumming.
