Hi Mr. Parsons, I've been told that Dark Side of the Moon had very little compression used on it and as a result it could be played quite loud without distortion. Is that correct?
best regards

Lack of compression means

Lack of compression means more dynamic range which means that there is more light and shade in the music - something so often lacking in current music recordings
