CD quality differences


I am in the middle of a DIY speaker project. Which means I have been doing more critical listening lately.

I've noticed on more than one disc that I listen to, there are differences in recording quality from song to song.

These are not "greatest hits" discs. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just in my head?

There is a thread on here about better remasters of some Stones CD's.  I think it is the 2002 abkco one.  I am replacing my 1980s Stones CDs with those.

But note that these are all based on alterations in the studio of the sound from the original masters, not on whether the CD spec. is deficient in some way.  There is a lot of smoke and noise from those claiming the latter is not adequate, but no double blind listening tests show higher bit rates, 1-bit etc. etc. sound better.
