As I stated in my opening paragraph, my remixing comments refer to "the
stereo separation is different from the “usual” 1960s mix, e.g.,
instrumentation/vocals not in the same channel (l, r, c) as before".
The first three songs are mono. Have always been. So they are not a part of
my analysis. It is believed no 2-track master exists for "Love Me Do" and "She
Loves You", and the 2-track for "From Me To You" is missing the harmonica on
the intro as present on the 45 (for reasons I won't get into here...).

LOTS of differences in this remixed release, although
most are minor. The most obvious change is in "Penny
Lane". On the 45 and German stereo, it sounds like
both a soft sounding piano and a hard sounding one were
recorded simultaneously, and at certain points
(example: The fireman rushes in section) it starts with
just the soft piano and, then the harder piano gets
faded up on top of the softer one. On this new remix,
it's hard piano all the way.. you can hear it on other
parts of the song too. It stands out as a difference
from what we've heard before.

Some other differences:
"Get Back" - The reverb on the drums following the
"false ending" is missing. Drums sound lower overall.
Much less distortion.
"Hello Goodbye" - On this new mix, I don't hear the
organ that starts on the stereo album mix at 2:20.
There's much less distortion on the ending.
"Let It Be" (comparing to the single, not the Spector
mix) has a louder organ in sections, the unique reverb
that was used on the cymbal for the 45 is missing, and
the cough or sneeze in the background as Paul sings
"for though they may be parted" is mixed out.
In general, there is less heavy compression, and less
distortion especially on the later songs.
