GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...

And very very few recordings are actually bass heavy. The opposite is the "normal". The Dance is a little unnormal in that sence. They can have poorly recorded bass though. If you believe it's too much bass it's probably your room/system thats not in balance. Try some DSP or turn down the volume on the sub. Good luck!

Try the "3 bats live" from Ontario.
Vocals a little edgy but a very good live recording. Bass and guitars fine. You might miss Ellen but Aspen Miller not bad at all. The original studio true crap.
To you all. Don't say "all". All artists made both bad and good recordings. Often the best are on vinyl. Not because vinyl is better but because they messed least with the vinyl mastering. R.E.M and Stones made some recordings with absolute reference quality. It might be your unbalanced system...Try Maxwell for always top quality. And lots lots of others.

For me Bruce’s The Wild The innocent The E Street Shuffle is of reference quality. Also his best... Also fine on cd/streaming even if unfortunately a little hissed (or compressed - not sure) in the mids.

Still looking for the best vinyl mastering of Supertramp Crime of the century. The cd transfers and remasterings no good at all. Bass light and screaming.

Have recently found the best so far sounding vinyl (Juno records) of Rock ’n Roll Animal and Dark side of the moon (for loud listening). The sharp edges on guitars and sax is taken down.

Older Doobie Brothers never disappoint. Takin' it to the streets - true perfection.

@ slaw 

shows how different sounding masterings can be of the same music. My UK version is actually little dark with beautiful vocals (lots of 3D). Reference to me because I can play it at any level without hearing fatigue. The same for a newly accuired vinyl of Lowell George Thank's, I'll eat it here. Superior to the cd transfer.

@skipskip Appreciate your post. Very interesting inside info.
