     ^^even without this knowledge (let us not forget that ST was hired by 
     ^^the label, not The Kinks...and Reprise was probably nervous about 
     ^^letting Davies produce after the string of successes Talmy had). 
     
     Here's a thought:  Was Glyn Johns the engineer on SE as he was on My 
     Generation?  Perhaps he might have had more influence on the quality 
     of SE than Talmy.
     
     Also, since Johns was the engineer on MG, why not have him do the new 
     mix?  I bet both Talmy and The Who could agree to that.
