 LP's used compression the same as most CD's. In fact the need for
 compression was greater because of the limited dynamic range. Just because
 mastering engineers have lost their way these days is irrelevant to the
 technical necessities.
 Not only that, but with LP you *could* push the peak cutting levels higher
 than RIAA recommendations as well. It's *impossible* to push peak CD levels
 higher than Dfs though.
