The old Deep Purple stuff comes to mind.
To be perfectly honest, I don't understand why people are still doing it. I can't conceive that a musician who has the least bit of control over his work and his own legacy will hear his work like that and give his ok.
More and more when I look up albums on Wikipedia, there seem to be references to the negative reaction to that album's mastering and loudness war. When Metallica's Death Magnetic came out a few years ago, people used the more natural sounding Guitar Hero version of the songs to create and distribute their own master.
I'm sure that record companies and artists could actually cash in on the fact that people like me would actually pay to get their hands on albums that haven't been so severely limited. Technically, Nine Inch Nails offered something of the sort for their last record - though I couldn't bring myself to buy the album because I had no interest in it. But I love the idea.
If I had the option, I'd always buy the mix as it was heard coming out of the stereo master bus in the studio. I don't know how many albums in recent years I've tried to listen to which seemed to have interesting sounds and music on them, and maybe even good mixes, but were totally obliterated by mastering.
At this point, I sometimes feel like this whole thing is kind of a systematic over-reaction to an imaginary treat - I just don't believe that people would NOT buy a record because it hasn't been brickwall limited. If anything, I think that they would get people like me to lift their boycott.
