GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...

HI TO ALL... Made a change to isolating my speakers, so I'm pawing thru my CDs and listening for the changes/improvements - and I put in one of the all-time greats (IMHO), and I am still so disappointed in the quality of the recording:
BAT OUTTA HELL by Meatloaf (luv ELLEN FOLEY ON "... Dashboard Lights..."): UGH!

What are your personal disappointments?

Another for me: THE DANCE by Fleetwood Mac : OVERLY Bass heavy

I listen primarily to vinyl.  One point not emphasized is the need for a clean first pressing, ideally from the country the recording was done in. Subsequent pressings almost never sound as good.  As a general guide, I have found that reissues almost never sound as good as a good first pressing, unless completely remastered and plated.  I agree with other posters that Layla sounds like it was recorded in a blanket no matter what pressing you listen to.  Too bad because that musically is an awesome album.

Journey’s (first album?) Album from about 1978 with “Lights” and “Feeling That Way”.  Had both the LP and CD.  Great music/dreadful SQ on both.
