                      ORIGINAL RELEASE - not remaster
 [normally original releases have  ''least compression'' in sound
 which usually means dynamic range will be far superior to any
 remastered versions which equates to you hearing a lot more detail
in what you are listening to on your turntable]

Another good place to check your compression levels of both your cds and vinyl is a site called ''dynamic range database'' which tries to update as often as possible.

                                    VINYL GRADING GUIDE :

                                 LP'S ARE VISUALLY GRADED,
                                            UNLESS STATED "play-graded"
                                                                   PLEASE TAKE NOTE .

            We never list anything as mint unless it is new :

         EX  = Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.
        EX- = Disc plays near perfectly, minimal impact on the sound quality but may have minor paper scuffs . There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that affects playback. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.
        VG+ =  Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.
         VG  = Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole.
         VG - = Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause surface noise + There might be skips   
  GOOD = Well played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties).
The record will still play through without any jumps. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
                           [- or + added for better detailed description.]

ABOUT our GRADING :We grade conservatively and strictly according to Goldmine guidelines and take pride in not overstating the condition of an item. if in any doubts please refer to our feedback.
Regarding surface noise on vinyl, VG means there may be audible noise in quiet passages only (and occasionally in normal passages but not enough to distract from the music).
VG+ means infrequent noise in quiet passages, none in normal passages. A NM sounds (and looks) like new.
we visually grade each item and if we  listened to it we will state "play-graded"making clear that it was played in the comments.

                                                ''loudness war''   [continued]
                                  info from wikipedia article ''loudness war''
    'The loudness war (or loudness race) refers to the trend of increasing audio levels in recorded music which many critics believe reduces sound quality and listener enjoyment'.
Modern recordings that use extreme dynamic range compression and other measures to increase loudness therefore can sacrifice sound quality to loudness. The competitive escalation of loudness has led music fans and members of the
musical press to refer to the affected albums as "victims of the loudness war." 
   Jukeboxes became popular in the 1940s and were often set to a predetermined level by the owner, so any record that was mastered louder
than the others would stand out.
Similarly, starting in the 1950s, producers would request louder 7-inch singles so that songs would stand out when auditioned by program directors
for radio stations. In particular, many Motown records pushed the limits of how loud records could be made; according to one of their engineers, they were
 "notorious for cutting some of the hottest 45s in the industry."
In the 1960s and 1970s, compilation albums of hits by multiple different artists became popular, and if artists and producers found their song was quieter than others on the compilation, they would insist that their song be remastered to be competitive.
Because of the limitations of the vinyl format, the ability to manipulate loudness was also limited. Attempts to achieve extreme loudness could render the medium
unplayable. Digital media such as CDs remove these restrictions and as a result, increasing loudness levels have been a more severe issue in the CD era.
 Modern computer-based digital audio effects processing allows mastering engineers to have greater direct control over the loudness of a song: for example, a "brick wall" limiter can look ahead at an upcoming signal to limit its level.  
  Engineers can apply an increasingly high ratio of compression to a recording until it more frequently peaks at the maximum amplitude. In extreme cases, efforts to
 increase loudness can result in clipping and other audible distortion.
In late 2008, mastering engineer Bob Ludwig offered three versions of the Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy for approval to co-producers Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo.They selected the one with the least compression. Ludwig wrote,
 "I was floored when I heard they decided to go with my full dynamics version and the loudness-for-loudness-sake versions be damned." Ludwig said the "fan and press backlash against the recent heavily compressed recordings finally set the context for someone to take a stand and return to putting music and dynamics above sheer level."
