You may be right when it comes to Sgt Peppers, but the earlier releases 
quickly had adhesive stickers slapped on them by EMI correcting the ADD to 
AAD.  I think this is borne out by the fact that some were released in
mono, although remastered (possibly digitally faked) stereo versions were
in existence.  I recall much discussion in music production magazines
when these releases were first made because of this point.
