Jeeze, why debate? If it sounds bad enough, don't listen to it. Personally I think most remastered reissues sound like crap.
Take the Inner Life & Jocelyn Brown anthology on salsoul uk. They eff'd up all the mixes by remastering it for today's systems (and CDs) that can take more highs and lows than in the early 80s. Results? a) It sounds like crap b) I've hunted down the orginals on vinyl, which sound sweet and stop listening to music with soundforge or peak, I mean really...
