I don't think that's the case. I think George Martin made the new
remixes back in 1987 using the technology he (being an old fart) was
familiar with at that time -- that is, analog tape. Then, once he was
finished, the final master was converted from analog to digital using
the stone age DAC technology from the mid-80s. And, as we all know,
the end results were atrocious.
