Avoid any album released by creative sounds inc/LTD

I recently got my old dvd/cd player hooked back up in my room and I decided to go through my meager CD collection (I'm a huge vinyl fan) and I found some of Sabbath CD's Masters of Reality, Paranoid, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and decided to give them a listen. These have to be the worst mixes of any album ever, I mean the highs are very unnatural and scratchy, the mid's are muddy and dull, and the bass is just droning. So after a few seconds of confusion I decided to see who was responsible for this abortion and on the back at toward the bottom I read "Courtesy of Dorchester Holdings issued under license to Creative Sounds, LTD". I still can't believe that I spent 8 bucks a pop on these releases back in 2001 their horrible, there is absolutely no mixing involved in these releases it's like they played the tape and used a micro cassette recorder to make their copy. AVOID and and all CD's marked Power Sound 2001, Scorpio, Red Dog Express, if these three albums are any representation of their catalogs quality then you'd be better with midi files.

Even back in the days of vinyl Sabbath was never known for the sound quality or their recording.
Can I assume you have these on vinyl as well?
How do the recordings compare?

True, Sabbath didn't have the sonic quality or definition of say Miles Davis or Dave Brubeck but than again not many hard rock bands do. You would be correct to assume that I have them on vinyl and they completely trash the hell out of these recordings. It not even funny how badly these cd's sound when compared to the 30+ year old vinyl releases.
