What happened to Speed King on the Deep Purple in Rock re-issue?

I have an original (Harvest) album that has seen better days so I needed a new copy. I found a re-issue 180g pressing and the version of Speed King is awful. The intro is gone, the drums and vocals are muddy and the whole arrangement seems different :(. The rest of the album sounds fine but why would they do this to Speed King.
It sounds as bad as the version I have on a crappy "best of Deep Purple" CD.
Why did they do this?
I guess I have to keep looking for a original pressing if I want Speed King to sound proper.
If any one knows other good versions (pressings) with a good version of Speed King please let me know.
