I know what you mean aeijtzsche and I also enjoy listening to new stereo remixes of products in process.
This was meant in context of the complete Wild Honey album. I buy an album and then want to hear the untouched message the artists wanted the listener to hear. A recording is more than just a song, it's art. Good Vibrations is still a great song performed on Banjo, no question.
I'm sure most people don't care for such details, just my unchangeable view.

I'm not bashing the remixers, but for me it's like repainting Mona Lisa with 3D effect, removing one eye and then sell it as Leonardo da Vinci's work. Combining two instruments on one channel creates a special sound, just a small separation creates another sound. Let the bees make honey organ missing, that's one eye. The contrasts, expressions of the mono mix are part of the song's identity and in this case not reproducible.

Not even used on the 'Good Vibrations' box (for whatever reason).

I always assumed it's the 45 mix on the boxset, because the fade out is a bit shorter than on Summer Days.

Was listening to Hawthorne CA  today, and I feel that we are reaching a stage of urgency for Wild Honey to be fully mixed into stereo.

I hope this will never happen. Wild Honey is one of my favorite BB records, but compare the stereo remix of Let the wind blow to the mono album version. There's an organ part missing or buried deep in the mix so the original effect isn't there anymore, Carl's vocals are way too loud, the dynamics of the original creation are destroyed. It's rewriting history and not even in a good sense. They obviously put a lot of effort in mixing back in 1967 and it shows. The one thing I would love to hear is the original mix without the technical noises, for example in Country Air or the fade of I'd Love Just Once To See You. But please, stop with those stereo remixes. Please let me wonder + Then I kiss her in stereo also fail to recapture the original magic.
