Richard, don't ever trust cd reissues.  The original single is canon, 
everything else is supposed to sound like that.

So many CD reissues have been so horribly bungled over the years, and
especially in the eighties when the big labels were cranking out back
catalogue product as quickly as they possibly could without much care
in the transfer, one should not expect a reissue to be competent unless
it is otherwise proven to be so.

I have a Beatles CD around here where a full-track tape was played back
on a stereo machine without setting the azimuth up properly, so you can
hear the delay on one speaker.  Sheesh.  The LEAST they could do would
be a mono sum if they didn't have the right headstack available....
