Do the remasters of Bad Moon Rising, EVOL, and Sister sound much different than the old SST / DGC versions?

I think so. All my '80s SY CDs honestly sound terrible, but the new remasters sound very good, especially on vinyl

The '80s CD mastering of those records is awful.

The SST vinyl sounds better than their digital counterparts, but the remasters sound noticeably better to my ears, particularly at the high and low ends of the spectrum.
