Without wishing to be rude, Marc is right you are wrong. The music was
never mixed to stereo in the first place. The Fanderson notes call
these tracks stereo remixes which is entirely correct. Perhaps, are my
technically correct way to have phrased it would have been to call
them 2002 or 2003 remixes.

Those that suggest just flicking the mono switch on stereo's turn
them into the mono versions that is also not correct either - you end
just hearing the the stereo mixes in mono which is entirely different
than listening to Barry Gray's mono vesrions.

If Fanderson did have more of the mono mixdown masters and did'nt use
them that was sad, and in my humble opinion was not a wise option.
If they did'nt exist and the only option was to use use the raw
4 track studio masters - that is fine. The mono masters are Barry
Grays finished art and every effort should put into presenting them as
such. As Marc suggested maybe a 3 disc set would have a nice idea and
they could have stick all the 2002/3 stereo remixes on one of the
discs.

I think the analogy between the mono - stereo and the colourisation of
black and films is a good one. The colourisation was a abomination.
