CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc
Use the "Dynamic Range Data Base" it’s your guiding hand to the best release copy.
One of the ones you mentioned Moody Blues Days of future passed.

You can see the earlier ones are far less compressed better dynamic rage than the later ones.
I use this as a guide to give me the date (say the 1986) then click on it for the catalog number (820 006-2) West German made, and get a used one on ebay for $10

BTW I have two of this and the 1986 German one is better than the more expensive 1990 MFSL which sounds a bit dull in comparison like they rolled off the highs at 8khz
