Using a direct copy of the analogue master to produce CDs. Minimal compression during the A to D process, no remastering, no additional EQ added.The OP is talking about LPs here, not CDs, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. If you're suggesting that early LP pressings were always made from original analog masters, you're mistaken. That's especially true of popular records, because they were commonly pressed at various plants around the world. The amount of compression would vary from plant-to-plant, and original masters were often not used. That's why many collectors often prefer pressings made in the country where the artists originated, because it would be more likely to be made from the analog master.
I'm referring to the mastering and transferring to media before the Loudness Wars.
