LP rarely needs compression

Usually its there for other reasons- one of the most common being that the producer does not want the mastering engineer to take the extra time and test cuts to do the mastering job without compression.

(An LP mastering system is impossible to overload, see the link below which is in this same thread)

For Redbook, its usually a good idea to apply compression, as the bits available to define the signal drops off with the signal level. This causes a loss of low level resolution.

So as a result 'tasteful' compression is going to be with us for a while...
