That's because I set them at that level. What does seem to be
different is the level of the "solid" chunk - it seems to be lower on
the vinyl, indicating that maybe the dynamic range is greater.

Probably just the way it's displayed, scaling on the plot etc.

I'm actually a little disappointed in those drum beats - they lack the
"whack" I would like to hear from them, and maybe they are victims of
vinyl mastering in the bass department. I'd like to compare to the CD
- do you think you could post those opening bars somewhere I could get
at them so I can see how they sound? All I own is the vinyl.

Could be. Have a listen to this:

741KB VBR, first few seconds of that track. Fades just before the vocals
start.

Yup - just as I suspected, there's a few dBs of bass cut on the vinyl
compared to the CD and it makes all the difference. Shame they
couldn't quite do the full monty on the vinyl, but that's physics for
you.
