The Griffin release is quite likely to be sourced from the ATCO master 
tapes...however that is not all clear cut.  For example, the ATCO tapes are 
not THE Warrior master tapes, they are a copy.  A copy of what?  The 
equalised tape used to master the vinyl? The original stereo master? A third 
generation copy?
Secondly, it could be that the ATCO tape was digitised using a standard 
issue DAT, as was quite common for the time and which would impart a 
not-inconsiderable reduction in quality. And was the release properly 
mastered or just copied straight to CD? All of these factors could have a 
bearing on why the Griffin release does not have the transparency of sound 
that might be expected.
