[QUOTE="User121314, post: 1043123, member: 16824"] Here's an interesting snippet for you. From around 1958 to approx 1972 DG limited the dynamic range of ALL their releases (This coincides with the start of stereo recordings)! This was done so that the LP's could sound good when played with either a stereo or a mono cartridge. It meant that the LP's were lacking in low frequencies compared to the UK or European pressings of the same recording. What it did do was give the DG releases a full midrange and is what made the DG recordings popular during the 60's. Unfortunately from the mid 70's the quality of DG recordings reportedly decreased dramatically. It is noticeable in my collection that of the 146 DG releases only about 26 are from 1975 onwards, the remainder are all pre 1974 all the way back to 1954. [/QUOTE]
