I read the title and thought you meant AM radio quality versions.

I'm not sure but it's happened to me a couple times. It hasn't replaced all of my music only a few random songs. It's rather annoying

You might try @AppleSupport on Twitter.

None of those songs aren't replaced by AM, they are simply matched with what  Music already has in its catalogue. Your songs on your computer are still the same you had, but if you were to stream those songs in iDevices, Apple is simply gonna use what they have catalogued rather than uploading your own songs to their servers.

If Apple was to upload the database of all their users, they would have millions of duplicates for thousands of songs they already have catalogued.

Thread title updated to make it more clear.

"Apple Music scans those 25,000 songs to see which, if any, can be matched with the Apple Music catalog. If they can, when you re-download that song on another device, you'll get a 256kbps Apple Music AAC file?which also happens to have DRM on it. Any songs not matched with the Apple Music catalog are uploaded as-is, where they can be redownloaded in their original format."

For those special song versions, you can retitle them by adding something like " long live" to the existing title. Then it won't get matched.

Just wondering why it's doing it is all

It's probably easier for Apple to have one song to stream to numerous devices than it does to have millions of copies of the same song.
