Default Aglio e Olio clear 7" sound quality?

I bought the Australian pressing of Aglio e Olio on 7" clear vinyl a while ago and was listening to it recently when I noticed that the sound quality seemed..... kind of bad. I put on my 12" pressing and it sounded 5x better. Anyone else have a copy or listen to one? I know that according to Beastiemania, the guy who cut these records had a pretty high "fail rate" in that a bunch didn't come out very good. Any idea if I might just have a bum copy or do others sound a little off?

The volume is low, the bass is weak, and on "Nervous Assistant" if the needle happens to catch the groove wrong, you can hear the track twice (one played with a 2 second delay) somehow. Weird stuff.
