During the AOR [album oriented radio] FM days, many record companies would compress the intended single releases, so that they would sound louder on the s**t car radios of the day. FYI, I have a Gold DCC copy, and these songs are also horribly compressed.

See my earlier post. It would be nice to finally hear these two songs with similar fidelity of the other songs on the album. I hope that there's no downside to their remastering...sometimes other things in the mix used to suffer, when engineers "monkeyed" with the sound. But with today's digital technology, it's a whole new ballgame!
