Bobby Hatfield "whoooo"s during the call and response section towards the end are nicely distorted (deliberately) to give a sense of climax and desperation, the clue is in the lyrics, ie as Macca has said, when talking about Oasis, the recording is the way it is because of artistic decisions, rather than Hi-Fi considerations. Your system is clearly showing this decision making process. You, of course don't have to like their decisions
The Righteous Brothers record sounds aircraft hangar massive. The strings shimmer. I don't find it flat and airless.
OTOH it could be that I'm far too easily pleased and therfore unreliable
