Is my CSNY De Ja Vu a bad pressing, or lost cause?

I hadn't listened to this in a while.  Such great music, but my LP sounds like a diffuse, muffled mess.  I'm usually able to listen through poor recordings to enjoy great music, but it was tough in this case.  The CSN debut (couch) LP was never good, but not this bad. I wish these could sound as good as David Crosby's solo, If I can only remember my name. That LP sounds great.

This thread piqued my curiosity.   I have a Deja Vu copy that my wife owned prior to our marriage. 30+ years ago.  Atlantic SD 7200, The label is stamped at the bottom, "Mfg by Atlantic Recording Corp , 1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.  Etched & on the label; ST.A-701829-CC   MO" on side 1, same except for 701830 on side 2.  It sounds really good to me. 
I have to ask, what is the "couch" version?

Thanks fjn for the responses.  I really enjoy reading about some of this stuff.  The Couch name makes sense.  Like Peter Gabirle's Scratch album and others.  I remember us teenagers looking all over the Zep 4 album to try an find a name.  Now I'm going to go put on that Deja Vu album and think of simpler times and great harmonies.
