In the case of TommyDE the answer is yes to both
questions.  They are "hybrid" SACDs, which means they
have two layers of audio information, one suited for
"regular" equipment and the other for SACD players.
The stereo layer of Tommy, playable on a normal
player, will be using, for the first time apparently,
the original LP master tape. The 5.1 surround layer is
Pete's remix from the original multi-tracks.

I believe that MGDE is also a hybrid SACD - not sure
about CFNY though.
