Is that a faulty pressing, or are all other pressings of "Aqualung" also this lean on the bass?
If your copy has a blue & white label then it's probably an '80,s copy ,when the quality of the vinyl used was being reduced to save money as the record companies were trying to push cd.This penny pinching happened with a lot of other record labels also. Agree that "A" and Under Wraps are generally poor.Black Sunday and Fylingdale Flyer do save "A" a bit though. Mick
