I had that album too on tape, and you are right, it sounded fantastic.
One thing they often did in the 80s was record on chrome, yet suggest playback on normal EQ to add a little more top end.
Makes sense, as what with differing head alignment and dirty transports out there, the top end was always the first to suffer.
Of course, the production helped. Thomas Dolby's (no relation!) work on those albums was amazing. Jordan the comeback is another that absolutely shines.
