No, that's not true. The only instance of 2 four tracks running together was
during the recording of the orchestra during "A Day In The Life" and they
didn't stay in sync very well. However, your point is a bit valid since the
usual method was to fill all 4 tracks and bounce that down to one or two
tracks on another four track machine and start over. The techonology exists
now (and was used on the Anthology and Yellow Submarine discs) to take all
the tracks used on the various 4 track tapes and dump them in sync to a
modern multi-track machine (probably using Pro-Tools).
That's all well and good, but I would imagine that even with today's
gadgetry it would be very difficult to improve upon George Martin's and
Geoff Emerick's original mixes. Those guys are better than us - honest!

PS - even the 4-track mixes wouldn't fit on one cd.
