A lot of information is now available about The Beatles recording, mixing and mastering sessions. The majority of The Beatles catalog was mixed and mastered for mono with little money or attention given to stereo. That is why you hear so much hard left and hard right panning. When the second generation master tapes were flown across the Atlantic Ocean for US distribution mixing and mastering changes were made. The master tape gains were purposely boosted by Capitol Records during creation of the lathed metal masters to add "excitement".

Giles Martin expressed the difficulty he encountered trying to find acceptable source material for reference when remaking the latest remasters so the remasters would sound as intended.
