Hi Gavin.
It may be our old ears not picking up some of the high frequencies. If I turn up the highs it may be too high for younger ears.
I have already cut some of the lows and have now cut some more after your comment. You may like to have another listen.
Come to think of it though, I can't hear much of the lyrics on modern songs nowadays either.
Thanks for the comments.

Vic

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
