All potential sucking up aside, I think it's pretty clear that our own 
beloved founder's questions must have been a major driver here.

I would like to think that Collector's Choice wouldn't just take a tape, burn 
CDs and distribute without actually *listening* to it once. My hunch is that 
they heard what they heard and shipped it ... implying that they don't 
realize there is a difference.

I can easily picture TV or WEA just grabbing the tape off the shelf and 
handing it over *without* listening, figuring the producer of the remaster 
would signal an alarm if something was wrong.

My guess is that they had no idea there *WAS* a different mix, and thus would 
never have noticed. I doubt Tom grabbed up a copy of the new version and 
slapped it right on the stereo.

Thus, it took the Philip's efforts to make them realize that something could 
be amiss.
