Vinyl compression

*** You can *hear* the compression on many vinyl recording. All one has to do is look at the vinyl itself; in non-audiophile recordings it is easy to see the compression of the grooves during the loudest pages. ***

Can you elaborate on how you can distinguish the use of compression by looking at the grooves?

I've done quite a lot of transfers of LPs to digital, and so far I have not been able to discern a relationship between dynamics and how the grooves look.
