Yup - just as I suspected, there's a few dBs of bass cut on the vinyl
compared to the CD and it makes all the difference. Shame they
couldn't quite do the full monty on the vinyl, but that's physics for
you.

Yup. Bet the rest of it sounds sweet on vinyl though.

I've noticed with vinyl... if the original recording was analogue (ie
the CD was AAD) the vinyl can often seem to sound better, eg a lot of
ABBA's older stuff. But an all digital recording tends to sound better
on CD, at least if you've got decent CD playback kit.

If CDs were properly mastered and this "loudness war" crap had never
happened then there'd probably be no need for DVD-A or SACD. /cynic
