 I'm not on commission Dr. Doom but I have just put this on again to see (hear) if I'm right as I only listened to it once before I wrote the review and now I'm very confident with my assessment. It is just a much better mix that doesn't make your ears squeal - the CD version was the worst for that but that's probably no surprise.

 I'll have to give this reissue a go.

I have a 70s UK copy and as you say the sound is very trebly/weedy which doesn't do justice to the great tracks.

This is a very good repress of MC 5's 1970 album (linked below) overseen by the people at Rhino. The remastering on this is fantastic and while it somehow manages to add some oomph to the original mix by making the bass and drums more audible it still manages to sound like the same album only better. If you're not familiar with this one, the mix was often criticised for being a bit thin or having too much treble. Well, somehow this remaster manages to maintain the full blown treble in the guitar attack and lift the bass and drums in the mix.
It makes me think that Iggy Pop should have perhaps handed over Raw Power to Rhino rather than remix it himself and turn it into sludge in the process. I'm using Raw Power as a comparison because the Bowie mix was considered to have the same problem of too much treble in the mix.
This re-issue of Back In The USA manages to improve the sound all round and keep the integrity of the artwork on the original album with excellent attention to detail. In recent years Rhino have started to set the standard when it comes to re-issues of quality back catalogue records. This is a good example of how it should be done.
