As we all know now, there has been done _no_ remixing on the AQO
tracks (4-track masters seemed definetely lost), so Astley et al. had
the choice of THREE different already-mixed-versions. It couldn't be
so difficult to find the true stereo mix, as we do have the mono
thing already on CD.
Look, what will happen next? Yes, in a few years there will be a
THIRD AQO version on CD, and another lot of $$$ will go into the
pockets of the record companies... ;-)

If heavily interested, I can tape my Polydor vinyl (9 trax true
stereo, 1 mono, few crackling)...
