Yes, it's totally remixed for stereo and also for 5.1 surround. (see
below)

To the horror of their most obsessive fans, the surviving Beatles have
proven more than willing to tamper with their pop legacy, as witnessed
by the various facets of their massive, occasionally myopic mid-1990s
Anthology projects (and the suspect notion of its faux techno-marvel
"reunions"). In boldly revamping the soundtrack to their 1968 Heinz
Edelmann-designed animated fable Yellow Submarine, the Fabs have shown
they're not immune to the irony of the age either: their original
involvement in the project was both tentative and minimal. This new
version completely excises Beatles-producer Sir George Martin's
charming, if sometimes maudlin, orchestral score, offering instead a new
"songtrack" containing all the Beatles songs (standout cuts from Rubber
Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, in addition
to the four originals unique to the project) featured in the film. The
pre-announced "unreleased song" on the set turns out to be the original
album's rollicking "Hey Bulldog", one of the last true Lennon-McCartney
collaborations. "Hey Bulldog" was also the subject of both a previously
excised sequence in the film and a newly edited in-studio video cobbled
together from footage shot in early 1968 and previously used in vintage
promos for "Lady Madonna". Though it may further upset purists, the band
has allowed these tracks to be digitally remixed and remastered into 5.1
surround sound, imparting both a stunning clarity and a new perspective
(as well as restoring a "missing" verse and the original six-minute plus
playing time to "It's All Too Much") on some of the greatest--if
obviously overexposed--songs and recordings in the history of rock.

This is your other "Holy Grail".
Most Beatles fans are not aware of this CD and the stunning differences
of the remixes. Purists will hate it, but you and I will "Love" it!

Is the CD in Surround? That isn't mentioned on the Amazon page.
