There are two things I hope Shel Talmy does.

1. Remix the album properly in true stereo.

2. Keep the running order of the songs exactly the same and put any extras 
on at the end.

Although I'm happy to get all of the new stuff that "A Quick One", "Sell 
Out", "Live At Leeds" and the box set provide, they really are in some 
respects a disgrace, some more than others.
