The answer is a resounding NO. That would require a remix. All of the
CDs are using exactly the same stereo mixes that were created back in
the 1960s (except for a couple that use the 1987 CD masters); the only
improvement on the new CDs is that the sound is much cleaner and more
detailed. They sound really really good, and you will hear things you
never noticed before, but nothing in the mix (including the stereo
placement) is different.
