Mono 45rpm "Surrealistic Pillow" from Mo-Fi is the One to Have

The Beatles "1"-- Giles Martin Remixes the Singles

Music re-mixes may not be as complicated or as critical as brain surgery but when it comes to The Beatles, you could make the case.

If you're of a certain age, these songs are hard-wired into your brain, so that any changes jar. The reviews were not positive when, for the first CD issue, George Martin remixed Help and Rubber Soul to correct some glaring panning mistakes and to "modernize" the stereo imagery.
