I bought a Ventures CD several years back. The cover
art was identical to the old LP. Nothing to indicate that
it was any different from the LP. It wasn't compresses

Well, sounds like SOMETHING was done to it. They probably stuck a
Swiss Alp's worth of bottom at either 100Hz or below. LMAO!

BTW I've done the same thing in Audacity to older tracks that were
from LP master tapes that contained nothing below 60-70Hz. But I did
it conservatively and by constantly analyzing and listening to what I
was doing.
The Ventures post-producers probably just applied a boiler plate EQ to
the low end and ****ED it all up!

No, they screwed with the tempo. I never listened
enough to hear what else they screwed with.
