Most of the 70's 80's recordings were not much about room sound at all, particularly the 70's. Many really dead sounding studio's with close miked everything, to be honest the getting the room back into the recording is something that has become more fashionably in the last 15-20 years (originally fashionable in the 40's 50's and 60's, though this in those days was more out of necessity as they didn't have the same channel count we are used to now). Certain engineers like Glyn Johns kept alive the "less is more" approach and their results often speak for themselves, however it has to be born in mind that that way of working is great with the likes of the bands they worked with, useless for a lot of the "average talent" then and "modern talent" now.
