Muddy perhaps is not the best word, my english is not good enough, but it is a somewhat dark sound, seems like Taylor is playing backstage or at the basement. The guitars don't cut through the mix as they should, IMO. But the mixing can't be improved without the masters. I mean, Sister Morphine can do a great job qith the EQ, but it's the mix what is lacking clearity. The drums sound OK through the CD, but it's the guitars that aren't mixed upfront. Pittsburgh 72 lacks the cleanliness (if such word exixts, LOL) of L&G, lacking the highs, but you can hear the guitars through the mix very upfront.
