The vinyl record is an analog medium. How can it be affected by the loudness war? So what’s the impact?

The loudness war began with vinyls in jukeboxes.

This is why I try to buy original pressings of albums pre 2000.

There's databases to compare releases like DrLoudnesswar and dyradb

First one seems to have a larger dataset but their site has been down a few times when I've gone to check an album so I keep both bookmarked.
