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.
