Sounds like supposition to me. How do you explain the "Capitol Albums" box sets which all have the stereo and mono versions on the same disc?Originally Posted by Anthony Hom 
That would be a noble thing to do, remixes alongside the original mixes. but the recording studios are not so noble, as are the publishing companies. They would probably insist that both sets of same songs be charged as twice the royalties. It would lend further proof as to why the mono and stereo where not simply put onto one disc. They could have easily done this with the first 9 albums, but they didn't. There is some element of Beatles legal department that would not give consumers two Beatles albums for the price of one, and of course very few of the mainstream public would pay even for a single Beatles album at twice the price.
