Some reasons why many of rocks' greatest recordings haven't been remixed to
stereo are: 
 
1.  Laziness on the part of the record company. 
2.  The multitracks no longer exist. 
3.  The songs were recorded on only two or three tracks, and a good stereo
mix isn't possible (e.g., the Byrds' Turn!Turn!Turn!). 
4. The artists and/or producer are still alive and are mono purists.
