So the fact that the vinyl doesn't sound great seems to point towards dodgy vinyl mastering and pressing, not shoddy production.
Most of the the stuff on Beatport etc is much newer stuff though I really can't blame those records on Mastering (apart from my own at the time) or pressing.

There basically a definitive example of over compression to the point of destroying dynamics as pointed out by someone in another thread certainly C-Side 2,3,3,5,6 and the Stimulus releases I made around the same time suffer badly from it Im rather embarrassed to admit, It's not something I did deliberately just the unfortunate result of learning your trade whilst making records.
