Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die" - Why no mfsl


As far as I'm concerned, Traffic never made a better album than "John Barleycorn Must Die" but it was never given "the treatment" by mfsl or dcc. How come? All the rest of Steve Windwoods output made it to mfsl gold disc for the most part.

I have a copy of the 180 gram reissue of JBMD and it is poorly remastered in my book. The bass is excessively boosted and very muddy, the drum kit is too forward in the soundstage and the saxaphone is too weak/too far in the backround. The vocals and keyboards come across fairly well but everything seems just too out-of-whack overall. The pressing does have a very quiet backround.
