No age-related issue, someone simply recorded at too low a level. Happens all the time. Nothing you can do about it. Were these the commercial recordings, or home made ones? I guess the latter.

Actually, two different commercial pre-recorded. Angel was one label, I can't recall the other. I was puzzled because they were not homemade.

  They still could be homemade; someone may have recorded over the commercial pre-recorded tape(s). I have a Rolling Stones Aftermath tape that someone recorded an LP to it. It sounds great, but the Volume Level is also too low.

  They possibly used low grade tape, with very narrow dynamic range.

  P.S., perhaps not so puzzling in some regards as I have records and LP's that all need different preamp settings to one degree or another for comfortable listening. This just seemed extreme.
