It is mentioned at the sh forum that these Mike Taylor reissues are cut quite low.

Yes, possibly, I did turn my copy of 'Trio' up a bit. I also found the bass(es) recessed but that could be the original recording. 

I've not listened to 'Pendulum' yet

Thanks.

...since the original was not in-stock at the record store nearby 🙂, I will check with the CD after I receive my package...

Yes, my local shop also didn't have an original...

Listening again now with the volume up another notch, sorry neighbours, and bass is definitely more present.
