Thanks for the explanation Mark. I got to wondering after noticing that the Zeppelin song seemed more compressed then the Knopfler song I was looking at.

The upshot of all this for me is that most of the stuff I plan to re-acquire is probably going to be ok because it will be earlier productions of late 60s to early 80s music.

I think I will stay away from re-mastered productions if I can.
