Maybe I'm just a music geek, but I cringe listening to oldies radio every 
time I hear a stereo version of a song that sounds very little like the 
original single.  One of the worst examples is the cheezy-sounding stereo 
version of "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" by Crazy Elephant.  Not even the same 
take as the single version.  Alas, over the years these have become the 
de-facto "correct" version.
