As a lad growing up in the 1970s, believe me we liked our Rock loud and clear with heavy bass.
We saw many of Rock legends perform live, some several times over the decades.
By the late 1970s I became aware of "certain pressings" to hunt down that were far better sonically then I possibly had at hand.
I noticed a business ad here on Audiogon someone doing just that, selling "certain pressing", with a money back guarantee...Better Records
The avalanche of re pressings/ reissues and out right bad recordings was the problem of many Rock Lps that truly sucked sonically.
I agree with Audiofeil, I too have thousnds of Lps, Rock, Jazz and Classical, many over 50 years old with well defined, air moving low octaves,ie Mercury Living Presence.
As a matter of fact, I'll take a well recorded first pressing from the 1950s over anything today...
