In my opinion, many here have hit on it. Much of what was recorded back in day, as far as popular music, was recorded where much of the highs and specially the lows, were rolled off, because in general most buyers didn’t have the capacity to reproduce the sounds rolled off, so why put them on the recording. If the master tapes have the content, then the remaster process can add, what was not on the original commercial recording.
As some said, Desperado and Crime Of The Century are indeed quality recordings made back in the day. Classical music, as well as some jazz, didn’t suffer from engineers rolling off the frequencies, in most cases.
