All recordings have some sort of compression, not just for the masses, because 99% of systems being used would not be able to reproduce a totally uncompressed recording. The recording engineer not only have to compensate from the typical system dynamic limitation, but also for the typical room/ environment noise floor.

Yeah, but there is no excuse for the overly aggressive compression found on much music such as Dylan's Love and Theft, his Modern World, the Stones' Steel Wheels, Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang as well as Led Zeppelin's Mothership. All of Radiohead's CDs are compressed to death. Don't get me started...
"All recordings have some sort of compression"
Does that hold true for direct-to-disc recordings? I'm thinking of those big band classics that Harry James did for Sheffield Labs.
Sheffield Labs and the other audiophile labels crow about uncompressed recordings.I think one of the stereo demo CDs from Chesky makes a big deal of demoing the same track compressed and uncompressed.
Whether even these "uncompressed" CDs have some compression, I don't know, but they make such a big deal about how compression is bad (and it IS bad) that I would be surprised if there was any at all.
AS far as broadcast goes, I worked in broadcast television for 20 years and they compress the HELL out of the audio signal.
