I gotta agree with WFang on this one. I just love the true stereo versions.
I just about freaked out the first time I heard "I'm the Face" and "Zoot Suit"
in true stereo.

I also hope they do a quality job with the "My Generation" album.

Along the same lines, I wonder whatever happened to the stereo masters of
"See My Way", "Happy Jack", "Pictures of Lily", "Heaven and Hell", etc.
