Well, _I_ didnt request it... I think most of us thought there would be a
new stereo version via the multitrack masters... I just taped (most of) the
new CD, and I substituted the stereo versions of I'm A Boy and Magic Bus
from WBWB.

NO! We dont need those on a greatest hits! What I _would_ have liked to
have seen is The Relay. The only new version out is on the box set, but
that is cross-faded from Join Together:(

They mean the 1965 album, simply titled My Generation in the UK (and I
would assume this is what they would name it again). I dont think they will
release it until the get the masters from Shel Talmy, which until Polydor
settles with him, will be awhile. Its a shame.
