I have a question for you Beatle people on my LJ....

I'm listening to the remastered "Rubber Soul" at the moment. In particular, the song "The Word". Is it me or is there absolutely no "In the beginning, I misunderstood, but now I've got it, the word is good." as well as the "Everywhere I go I hear it said..." bits by John on here? The guitar part is there with no vocal. I have only just noticed this. I only have this album remastered, I still need to get the boxed set. As well as the Mono boxed set. Is this there in the monaural mix? I've only ever had the stereo mixes on my CDs and could have sworn it was all there on my original CD copy (not the remaster) as well, and it isn't!

Also! When listening to both my original CD and the remaster of "You Won't See Me", is Paul's vocal kinda buried and the instruments WAY prominent? I have to turn it up to hear his vocal! Just crappy mixing? The rest of the album seems just fine. Hmmmmmm.....

EDIT!
A quick configuration of my speakers from stereo to surround "found" that missing channel and now I hear it. I guess it needed to come through the speakers that were off. Hmmmm.

Listening to it now..it is in there..Truth be told..I think the remaster is crap.

I've actually heard this from some of my friends as well. I mean, that the remasters of a few of the albums are crap. I don't own it, myself, though I'm mightily tempted now, 'cos this is the sort of thing my hyperactive ears pick up!

I'm thinking of skipping getting that box set then and sticking with the Mono Box. Because yeah. The only thing that really is selling me on it is the video content.
