Leo sat motionless. On his desk, next to the high-end DAC, lay a faded photograph. Sarah, laughing, one hand shielding her eyes from the sun. The same sun that, in the song, is “blotted from the sky.”

Early stereo mixing in 1966 was experimental. Engineers at the time frequently panned entire instruments hard to the left or right channel. While some modern listeners find this panning disorienting on modern headphones, listening to high-fidelity remasters in FLAC helps listeners perceive the actual acoustic space of the room, softening the harshness of the extreme panning with authentic ambient depth.
