Is my CSNY De Ja Vu a bad pressing, or lost cause?

I hadn't listened to this in a while.  Such great music, but my LP sounds like a diffuse, muffled mess.  I'm usually able to listen through poor recordings to enjoy great music, but it was tough in this case.  The CSN debut (couch) LP was never good, but not this bad. I wish these could sound as good as David Crosby's solo, If I can only remember my name. That LP sounds great.

I never play my Classic "Deja vu" for it is a muffled mess in my system.
I have a regular pressing of the "couch" lp that blows away the Classic.

I have heard that.  It seems as though that record is a very vta sensitive lp.  The Crosby stills and Nash is similar.  A little bass heavy.

I just listened to the original press SD 7200.  The classic is better than SD 7200.  Not sure what version you have.
