Compressed Albums - reduces the difference between the loudest and softest sound for playing music in noisy environments like cars or radios. However in this project compression was used very sparely.

No Compression - is truest to the master tape, has wider dynamic range, and more impact.

"The audio industry has seen many technical innovations since BAND ON THE RUN was first released on vinyl in 1973, the most notable being digital recording. However, with the introduction of CD came two advances, 'de-noising' and 'peak limiting' which have become increasingly unpopular within certain areas of the music industry and amongst audiophiles.

"De-noising was introduced to remove the inherent sound, or hiss, associated with analogue tape. The amount of processing used to remove tape noise can be varied, but when used excessively, many believe that it also has a detrimental effect on elements of the musical sound.

"Peak limiting is a process that increases the loudness of music. It is achieved by holding the loudest peaks down and raising the overall level of the music. Much depends on the amount of limiting applied, but at its most extreme the result can be a serious reduction in the dynamic range and often audible distortion.

"The release of The Beatles' remasters in 2009 saw a marked change in attitudes towards these issues, where both noise reduction and limiting were used sparingly with the aim of representing the master tapes more accurately.
