All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Couple notes: actually Andy Warhol DID earn his producer credit for VU and Nico, in a very real sense: he ran interference for the band while they recorded what they wanted. When the engineers wanted something changed or questioned the band Warhol just said "no, no, I like what they're doing" (the VU that is).
So in that sense of being The Guy Who Had The Final Yes, Brian could be credited as (chief) producer.
I have yet to come across an EU copy of TLOS but from what AGD says about the bad shrill sound he encountered, it probably WAS remastered badly by someone else over there who thought they could do better. (You wouldn't think they'd bother, it's easiest to just do an FTP* of the US master to the EU pressing plant). The US versions of the CD and the vinyl seem OK. And yes a bad mastering job can make a good record sound like sh*t, as is often the case with most brickwall-mastered songs these days. And books can be written on the mastering practices of US record plants vs. those in England, Europe and Japan, and how different the masterings can be, most obviously the Beatles catalog, but tons and tons of others as well.
*file transfer protocol, as in, upload it via the webz.

TLOS is poorly mastered on the CD but the UK vinyl is pretty nice - I don't reckon that's part of the 'some evil bastard is pulling the strings on BW' argument but rather 'loudness war at the end of the decade was getting pretty obscene'. I think the reason that Gershwin & Disney, as well as BWPS before, sound nice was due to the common trends in the industry reacting to this trope (and with BWPS, well it wasn't that prevalent in old school artist releases in 2004) rather than any intention on BW peoples part.
