More LPs have been available from the standard labels lately.  I was wondering about their quality.  All too often I may pick-up a new CD of something I like only to find that it is compressed all to hell with the gain pumped up with very limited dynamic range left.  These same CDs sometimes have an LP counterpart and I was wondering if more likely than not, the same damaged master is used to master them?  If so, then I see no advantage to those LPs.  The reason I enjoy the ones I have now is because they are free from such radical limitations.  What are your thoughts on this?

You should have probably posted this in the vinyl circle.

That is a good point and I will do that, but it also does have to do with new releases of music in general.

Yeah, I hear yah. Last year I picked up the then new Janet Jackson LP(2)...sounded like shiiit, compressed like hell. It is a shame that a medium like vinyl (which sorta beams lots of care2manufacture&playback), should mirror the worst aspect of the Digital Compact (perfect forever) Disc.
Been ages since I had bought brand new vinyl, and that acquisition sorta killed any idea for me of a vinyl resurgence (thinking mass availability).
