As far as I know they used both stereo & mono from the original masters didn't they? masters believed lost since pretty much the original release. Though alternative rumours had them languishing in the vaults at Charly since the late 70s where the label were too lazy to go looking for them.
It took intrepid author Paul drummond to find them and this is the result.


It says on the site "Remastered and remixed by Walt Andrus, the band’s original engineer and producer" so they would have to have found the original master reels in order to remix. If they only found the 2-track final mixes, you can't really say they've been remixed, only remastered. So maybe I'm confusing my terms or I'm not interpreting things correctly. Either way should be great.

Re-read the part in Eye Mind about how the label remixed the tapes and screwed up the mastering for the first album, seems like this box should re-write history so to speak.
