And why John, during those initial '80s era transfers
of those original master tapes to CD, should that
'compression and other faffing about' have been
done at all? I glad that stuff WASN'T done, and don't
get this culture that everything being transfered to
digital *must* be compromised by such processing.
Why not just minor adjustments, like channel balance,
and Redbook pre-emph?
You know what is interesting on early CDs? Generally, no credits given who did the audio.
It appears Columbia Records hired their party people to do their audio work, since they probably lacked the knowledge and equipment.
