It's probably more likely that those are just on the original masters. I can't imagine that the Sire disc could have been made from the same tapes as the RT.
David, the top-end "swishiness" that Craig is talking about is hard to describe, but it's definitely there. I've noticed it for 20 years and it's always made me crazy. It almost sounds similar to a Dolby B-encoded cassette being played back without the Dolby circuitry engaged.
