Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better?

I recently purchased the MOFI release of The Prisoner in Disguise LP. I was really disappointed. The original totally smokes this re-release. The original goes deeper, vocals are much better and the presentation is more natural. MOFI, what is going on? I am noticing this more and more with MOFI. Is anyone else experiencing similar outcomes? I guess I'll go to the Flea Market from now on. It is not even close. My original copy is not even a mint copy and it is still better and plays better throughout the whole record. A major waste of 35 bucks.

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.
