So much that EMI have been fixing his work for 60 years now, in particular his decision to split the Beatles tracks arbitrarily between the two speakers for all the stereo mixes, despite the Beatles personal involvement in the mixing process for the mono mix downs which sound infinitely better.



That was how everything was mixed in the early days of stereo. Beatles actually got away from it sooner than many.

Radio was all AM, which is mono.


Everything wasn’t mixed like that actually. It was a poor decision seen through to its end.


There just wasn't much focus on stereo until the late 60s. Most acts back then have stereo mixes that are not much more than an afterthought.
