Well, the sound of Dan the Music Man on the Vinylvend
channel was exactly what I would call harsh. Was he
using a C1000s maybe?

:-)

There are lots of examples of "harsh mixes" Take a
listen to a very good song by Kirsty MacColl. It was a nicely-made
multitrack, but the vinyl single has outrageous
compression and EQ - even more than on the YouTubeclip.
It was loud on the radio, though:-) This was
"fashionable" long before the advent of CD.

I notice that Iain simply deleted the best and most useful parts of Don's
post - the ones about equalization. Given Iain's phobias about equalization,
this is completely understandable, but not the least bit laudable.
