Uriah Heep "Sweet Freedom" BMG/Sanctuary Records reissue

No matter what cartridge/turntable I use, my BMG/Sanctuary Records reissue of Uriah Heep "Sweet Freedom" sounds awful (HF distortion, excessive sibilants, etc.). By comparison, 'Look at yourself' on the same label sounds quite good.

Any opinions on the original or close to original issue of Sweet Freedom  LP on Bronze Records? Is it devoid of such nasties?

All Castle LP reissues suffer from peaky, some more or less sibilant sound, except "Look at Yourself" CLALP 107 which is the finest of all Castle reissues with dynamic, clean nice sound:
