oh yeah? do you have Sonic Youth on cd?? all of the their cd's from "Washing Machine" onwards have clipping and reduced dynamic range.
I'll hazard a guess there's more than just SY too. virtually every cd released on a major from the mid 90's onwards has clipping.
Vinyl is a fairer representation because it's impossible to master a vinyl mix loud enough for it to clip; the needle would literally jump out of the groove if it was. Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't heard any reports of that happening yet
