Hello ogs - I agree that the sound quality of the CD by absolute standards is not the best. I read somewhere that it had been deliberately engineered to sound "vintage"; not sure whether that correlates with the 80-100 Hz boost you mentioned, but it sounds plausible. There may be other things going on as well; maybe some (valve-like?) distortion has been added. For me, though, the music is easily strong enough to help me take my critical ears out of the loop and just enjoy the whole thing.
