Not all is gloom in the dynamic range midden. I've just been pulling
to pieces a bit of Led Zeppelin to compare a recent CD of LZ IV with
my original vinyl copy. I'm happy to be able to report that the new CD
has hugely *increased* dynamics over the vinyl, and there is no sign
of any mastering engineer making it loud.


It is so nice when the artists have the muscle to stay in charge.

to see what I found.


Which 'modern remix/remaster' CD version is this from...and by original
vinyl copy, you mean from when?


The CD is 1997. I bought the vinyl the first day it appeared in the
shops, back in whenever it was they first made it.
