Maybe the box did issue more stereo, but it seems to me it left a lot in
mono (ie, Magic Bus, the "narrow" I'm A Boy, of course the Quick One stuff,
the Last Time...). Still wonder about Magic Bus... How is the "proper"
version on the LP different from the stereo version on the Whos Better Whos
Best CD???
