Huh interesting. I wonder what the cause would be since my German pressing of SEBTP, which had the same producer, sounds great, not muffled at all.
An (almost) 50 year old time capsule!! Just found a sealed copy of Grinder's Switch w/Garland Jeffreys. Circa 1970 on the Vanguard label.
Same. I believe I have the same exact German release round of Genesis for Foxtrot and SEBTP since both share similar cats as well as me buying both at the same time in similar condition, probably coming from the same owner. Yet SEBTP sounds great compared to side 1 of Foxtrot. It was one of the first topics I made a thread on in this forum. I thought it was groove wear but it seems like Genesis is just badly recorded a lot of times. Heres a new thread I made about it: Genesis Muffled Releases And heres my old thread: Muffled records phenomena
SEBTP does not have the same producer as Foxtrot (John Burns produced the former, David Hitchcock the latter). In any event, SEBTP is known to have much better sound than their previous albums, while Foxtrot is probably their darkest recording in most masterings I've heard.

good day at the record store both original pressings and bought under sticker price. Getting to know your local record shop dudes pays off.
The Fixx - Shuttered Room The Fixx - Reach The Beach The Fixx - Phantom The Fixx - Walkabout I got these 4 Lp’s for $21 shipping included. Just finished playing Reach The Beach and I’m amazed at how good the production is. Some really strong material on this Lp.
Just picked up the new ChangesTwoBowie, didn't get the blue like I had hoped, but I'm glad to upgrade my older copy.
Got a UK issue etched by Tim Young of Elvis Costello's Get Happy!! LP for $9. Plays real good and am quite enjoying the sound of it. Like the F Beat LP label too. Also a clean and quiet 'like new' copy of Beth Orton's The Sugaring Season. Got a pretty good decent price on it at $13. Nicely put together austere and minimalist sort of gatefold cover presentation, inner sleeve, and label, that goes nicely with the music.
Just got Nick Drake's "Made to Love Magic" and Can's "Ege Bamyasi" and man does Can sound good on vinyl and that album to me just flows perfectly.
