Funny you say that when Paul did re-record several Beatles tracks in his Give My Regards to Broad Street (1984), which got pretty bad reviews and even amongst Beatles and Paul fans is seen as a pretty bad entry in his canon.
It can go the other way too. I’m a huge fan of a Finnish rock band called Hanoi Rocks. Their second album (released in '82) had a really bad mix (something I noticed even back in the day, although I still love the album) and they’ve recently unearthed the original tapes and done a remix that they’re calling 'the ‘real’ mix. I heard one track the other day, and it sounds technically better of course, but it’s not the track I grew up with. Ultimately I’m going to stick with the original because that’s where the feeling lies (or ‘nostalgia’ if you will). it’s a moment in time.
Of course, unlike Star Wars, both versions will always be available, so the band gets to exorcise this particular demon and the fans get the option of either version.
