news I found the problems when they attempted to stereofy things like old
Tornados recordiings makde by Joe Meek. Absolutely awful, as were emis
best of Ruby Murray. and Polidors spicks and specks by the bee giees
originaly made in oz. Then there was the unfortunate lp Capitol put out
of Magical Mystery tour by the beatles with reprocessed mono of Penny
lane etc, which had stereo mixes already.

Agreed. One wonders why electronic stereo versions of any of these were
made. Maybe at the time, it seemed like a good idea? :-)

Money. Or at least, the belief of some of the people at some of the
companies that fiddling about would return more of it. Hence, for example,
the differences between early Beatles LP releases in the USA and the UK.

New 'versions' are seen as money-spinners, which is as I suspect MQA will
be seen in some quarters.


How right you are. Not just record companies but every
company worldwide is there to turn a profit. That's the
raison d'etre of business. But at least those who buy
CDs, DVDs and go to theatre or concerts can choose
what they buy or go to see. Caveat emptor.-

A pal of mine in the UK told me earlier today that the
standard TV licence is now UKP145 and payable in
advance. Can that be correct?


Has been for several years (and has always been payable in advance).
