In 1978 I had an original version of this LP and I do not recall it sounding as bad as this. I mean the songs are good and all, but it seems to me that the master tape this was made from is in bad shape. Many albums recorded at Bearsville were never that great sound wise to me anyway. So I am guessing due to all the multi tracking to enable Todd to play and sing everything on this album the master was a bit muddy and distorted to start with. Add to that many 70s master tapes are nowhere near the quality of 50s/60s tapes, plus the aging has resulted in a very poor sound indeed. I recommend you pass on this LP and just buy the not remastered 1990 CD instead as it will be cheaper and most likely sound way better.
