Rushton, agreed and I am not trashing the MoFi in any way. In fact it is one of the better MoFi releases IMO.
As r f sayles so accurately points out original releases seem to display more forward and punchy characteristics. However, this is not always the case. For example, I've purchased all of the Led Zeppelin immediately on release. The only one which has decent dynamics is Houses of the Holy, which ironically is the worst of the first 5 albums. The later releases on Swan Song are fair to good but certainly not nearly as excellent as other releases from other artists of that period. I've not heard the remastered Zeppelin releases so perhaps somebody else can jump in with a comparison.
