Who would have imagined that?
I saw them on their first US tour in 1969 and "aggressive" was a pretty good way to describe them back then.

True. But were they "satisfied" with what was provided with the production tapes? If so, why so much processing, double tracking, and reverb? Why did Pinder change to a solid state preamp to get a mellower sound (the Moody sound)?

They would have accepted what was provided with no thought to what could have been. I listen to CDs and vinyl in complete ignorance of what was originally recorded.
