Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better?

Some remastering removes a bit of reverb etc to increase clarity. When I listen to some (other) remastered things I notice also that it is totally different than the original sound, and I like the crappy original sound better.

I just picked up the MOFI Metallica Master of Puppets and it is horrible. The bass is missing in action and the sound is very flat. The CD version sounds much better.

I also picked up Ride The Lightning and Kill Em All. After listening to Master of Puppets I am going to return the others without even opening them. I am also going to try to return the open one as well.

Not only did it not sound good there was a distortion on the first track in two places.

This is completely unacceptable.

I find it hard to believe that someone listened to the end result of this reissue and let it go into production.

It just sounds horrible. It is not better at all. The voices are clearer and there is more focus on the original. The drums go deeper. It is just much better on the original. I guess I am just disappointed because I was expecting great things.
