It's weird how some 1969 hits still have that "mid-century" sound (if you know what I mean) but 1970 hits immediately sound late-century.

I mean some of the 1969 hits still have a "oldies atomic age" sound while 1970 hits are more modern "70s mellow gold"

No? There's nothing odd about that; not all producers and musicians were necessarily onto the latest trends.

cf. this example. 1970 and sounds at least 5 years out of date.

my 1923 model grandfather was a session musician in the 50s-60s, he retired from the business in 68. he said the music industry is super competitive (especially true in that era) and really tough, you have to be listening to new releases constantly to keep up and not fall behind.

Another 1969 one that seems older:
