Anyone happen to know whether the Astral Weeks sold by Rhino as a download is the remaster available in Japan, or just a rip of the CD generally available at half the price?

My UK vinyl copy of Astral Weeks sounds like a completely different record to my US 1st pressing. The UK one being a pale shadow of the US counterpart in every way. A similar situation exist with many of Little Feat's and Zappa's record too (e.g a UK Zoot Allures is much muddier sounding has has rather rolled oof bass by comparison.)
