HW: Castle CD's

I have a quick question: I don;t have Live 79 or Levitiation on CD. I've
noticed several copies of Live 79 for sale have mentioned that they're on
Castle records, and in one case that the album is re-mastered. I've owned
several Castle CD's from the 80's, and in every case it seemed to me that
their 're-mastering' process must have involved sticking the album on the
stereo and holding a microphone up to the loudspeaker. Every Castle CD from
thatera which I've heard was at worst horribly tinny and compressed, and at
best, markedly inferior sonically to the LP versions. Is this true of the
Castle HW releases as well?
