Only 2 jump out in my dim memory right now, although I'm sure I could add several more with a little thought put into it:

Volunteers, Jefferson Airplane- I waited anxiously for the original cd release of Volunteers, and when it finally came out, I played it once and was AGHAST at the sound quality. I think I may have tried a 2nd spin but never made it all the way through. Disgraceful. No idea if any subsequent remasters were done that helped; I decided to stick to original vinyl and never looked.

Veedon Fleece, V. Morrison- Again, the first cd version- simply dreadful. Sounds like it was done under water. I would hope the remasters of Van's stuff several years ago helped, but again, I reverted to the vinyl and didn't gamble again.
