The stereo tracks on the cd 1+, released in 2015, are remixed. The first 3 tracks are mono and not remixed.

I don’t see the problem with remixing. If you want the original mixes they are available. If you want to hear a different mix, why not? The same mixes will sound different played on different systems, won’t they? Most people probably wouldn’t like the sound of the playback system that was used to mix the tracks originally. It wasn’t designed for enjoyment.

I agree with you cd318 that the original mix should be available and it will be as long as there are cd players around. But if Paul or Ringo (most likely Paul) say, you know, we could make those tunes sound better now, lets have a go at it and see if we like the result, and they do like the result, why not?

I would like to see the Great Pyramid with its white limestone outer casing and golden peak and the Parthenon with gleaming white marble and brightly painted colors.  Van Gogh and Joni Mitchell painted a number of self portraits throughout their lives and I'm glad that they did. 

If you buy the cd only it's called 1, not 1+, but you have to get the 2015 version for the remixes.
