"Breakfast In America"...a lost cause?

From the Dynamic Range Database; first the vinyl,

Supertramp Breakfast In America (Japan) i 1979 14 12 15 lossless Vinyl

Supertramp Breakfast In America [vinyl] i 1979 13 12 15 lossless Vinyl

Some CDs for comparison,

Supertramp Breakfast In America i 1994 13 12 14 lossless CD

Supertramp Breakfast In America - Japan (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] i 2013. 12 11 13 lossless CD

Supertramp Breakfast In America 1995 13 12 14 lossless CD

Supertramp Breakfast In America - [SHM-CD] - Japan i 2011 08 07 12 lossless CD

I´ve always found the american vinyl version and the american cd version pretty awfully compressed.

You might try the A&M Canadian Audiophile Series. I have BIA,EITQM and COTC In this vinyl format and they all sound excellent. They are 1/2 speed mastered from the original analog masters.
