I understand motivation for remix of "Let it be" - McCartney was very dissatisfied with "wall of sound" by Spector. And it's already done.

But "Sgt. Pepper" - I think the only motivation is to try squeeze a little bit more money from fans.

My hope is that sometime in future we will get a remix of Metallica "Justice for All" with bass on it.

But Hetfield already stated that they don't plan to do that:

> "And why would you change that? Why would you change history? Why would you all of a sudden put bass on it? There is bass on it, but why would you remix an album? You can remaster it, yes, but why would you remix something and make it different? It'd be like… I don't know. Not that I'm comparing us to the Mona Lisa, but it's, like, 'Uh, can we make her smile a little better?!' You know?! Why?"

That's quite sad but that's creator's decision.
