What would you do? - alt rock listing

Recently got a return from a listing looking for 90s songs that were recorded in the 90s.
From the listing:
"They can ONLY use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. It doesn't have to be super hi-fi, but reasonably good, well-balanced recordings and mixes are needed. The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today’s Broadcast Quality! Good demos and master recordings are all of interest to this company!"
From the screener:
"A better mix, in regard to the levels of instrumentation would have benefited this recording. This song is strong, but typically the decision makers seek songs that sound like they may have been on the radio in the era."
So which is it? Did they want good demos like the listing said? Or radio quality like the screener said?
So the question is, what would make a "better" mix? more guitar? less guitar? more or less drums? different overall eq? If the guitar tone isn't to taste with the screeners taste, does that make this mix "less good"?
