Again(since you brought it up)- A presentation, by Harman International:http://www.distortionofsound.com Another site that may be of interest to some: http://dr.loudness-war.info/ There are a number of LPs and their DRs listed.

Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars?
I'm seeing new vinyl sold in many unexpected places these days.
For those who have bought a lot of new vinyl, I'm wondering if these tend to be mastered differently from similar newer CD remasters that often show effects of the "Loudness Wars"?
Is it a mixed bag perhaps? Much like CDs?
I wonder because if I knew there was a different mastering done for new vinyl I might consider buying some if I knew.
But new vinyl is expensive and I would not want to get essentially the same end result in regards to sound quality as I would get with CD for much less.
Just wondering.
