Davetherave, just to let you know, the title cut [Aqualung] & Hymn 43 were compressed on the master tape. During the AOR [album oriented radio] FM days, many record companies would compress the intended single releases, so that they would sound louder on the s**t car radios of the day.

FYI, I have a Gold DCC copy, and these songs are also horribly compressed.
Hevac1, if Aqualung [and Hymn 43] sound open & uncompressed, then Classic Records must have electronically played with the remastering. See my earlier post.

It would be nice to finally hear these two songs with similar fidelity of the other songs on the album. I hope that there's no downside to their remastering...sometimes other things in the mix used to suffer, when engineers "monkeyed" with the sound. But with today's digital technology, it's a whole new ballgame!
Hevac1, I understand your point! And after a few Quaaludes, who gave a shit about the music or sound systems :-)
