I confess I had similar reactions to some of the "Living
Presence" CDs. Although there in some cases, from measurements, I'm
not sure to what extent the clipping was during transfer to CD or of
the tape machines.

This predilection for higher levels has always been with us, and is
very much alive today.

Indeed. Alas, it tends to sometimes end up with recordings that go into
saturation or clipping. Which some then take to be even more 'loudness'.
