@mapman I don’t know if it is #1 on your list, but in my experience playing LPs, some records simply don’t have much deep bass. Whether it is a result of the original recording, the mix, or the mastering, it isn’t there.
There are many times listening to a record where I wish it had been mixed differently.
One example: I have both first and second UK pressings of In the Court (KC) and though highly regarded in prog circles as an UR album, it is not a very good recording.
Though I’ve long clung to my records and analog recordings (to the extent you are buying old records), the SW remix of the record is a vast improvement in my estimation. Yes it is digital but you can hear Greg Lake’s voice much more clearly, there is far less distortion on certain tracks and everything seems much easier to take in. Much as I love the old Island pink labels, Wilson’s work was, to me, a vast improvement on an important record.
