Without trying to be a smug git, the answer is in the question.
From "Cambridge English Dictionary"
So should be ok?

I have the album, but looking on the net it has 32 tracks, as far as I remember mine has about 24, the quality is good however mine has a few "mock" stereo tracks, one is Midnight which doesn't sound good at all as it sounds wrong and there's panning from side to side.
One has to bare in mind that just because something has been remastered doesn't mean it's going to be better, it's all in the hands of the guys that are doing the job, if they are into the early Shadows music and actually understand what is what then there's a chance that everything will be ok, if they are just mastering "tracks" then who knows!!!

Hi,
Not sure if this might be slightly off track but might fit in here.
I was always of the belief that stereo was the way to go, being a Hi Fi nut it is but only to a certain extent, I listened to The stereoversion of Wonderful land then the mono version and Oh Wow.
What a difference the mono version is, it’s bigger and more rounded less this sounding, try it see the difference, the mono version original is far and beyond the lesser quality stereo version, even my daughter heard the difference right away and she’s not a clue about such things usually

'50s and early '60s recordings were usually made on two-track machines and, for pop music, both tracks were needed for track-bouncing. Stereo wasn't an option unless it was a "live" (i.e. everyone playing at once) recording.
Even when four-track came into use, engineers and musicians were reluctant to waste tracks on stereo. The stereo-effect was often added at the final mix -- effectively a "remastering".
Listen to the mono and stereo versions of any of the Beatles albums up to, and including, Sergeant Pepper -- the mono versions are far superior.
