Credits for engineering & mastering, for
the original vinyl album release are listed,
on the album cover shrunk down to fit
in the CD jewel case. Since those early
transfers were *largely* done flat, there
was no need for CD engineering or
mastering credits to be listed. As I
mentioned earlier, minor leveling or
pre-emphasis to existing masters was
just standard procedure at that time,
not worthy of mastering credit as is
the squash-boost-&-brickwall-limit
job done on MOST "remasters"
since 2000, and practically any new
artist work.

Sigh. Pre-emphasis is not done as an audio mastering process. It is a
tick-box on or off in a later authoring stage.
