   I didn't mean to suggest this, I was just saying that the stereo   
   remixes sound MUCH better to modern ears.   
      
   But now that you mention it .... the college kids that I know do have   
   an interest in older music,  but there is a cutoff.  To them, "older"   
   is the 70's.   
      
   I think the Beach Boys are a tough sell for young ears.     I'm 47,   
   when I was a little kid, I heard some of that early 60's folk-pop   
   music by Trini Lopez, The Brothers Four, Kingston Trio.   That music   
   is a bit corny, as satarized in the movie "A Mighty Wind",  but I can   
   appreciate it.   I imagine when a 20-year-old ear hears  the Beach   
   Boys, it's like me listening to a 1955 doo-wop song, or a barbershop   
   quartet.   
      
   Appreciating new music styles takes time to get past the superficial   
   sound.   Most people don't have the patience, they just stick with   
   music they heard in highschool and college.
