I coiuldn't agree more, yesterday, I was listening to a song that was re-released on CD. It was horrible! The distortion from an improperly set compressor ruined it. Of course, on a record this was partially hidden and accepted as a limitation of the medium and as a result, overlooked. By todays standards, that would have never made it to a production facility for pressing.
