To go further, comparing the version of Rhoda that's on Tweez to the version that's on the EP, I can't imagine anyone NOT picking the EP version.
So that's usually the example I think of when I want to convince myself that yeah, the production is important.

Albini has this habit of wrecking records. I don't know if it's bands not telling him what they want or just him, but he's made some utterly shockingly bad records. That Stooges record was just
hideous.
