Here he states that "LPs contain close to 100-percent of the
uncompressed music information as originally recorded. CDs contain
only about half of that recorded information."

He also makes a number of other somewhat controversial statements in
this article but they they are not nearly so absurd.

The most amazing thing about this topic to me is that anybody
cares what MSNBC says? They clearly have no credibility in
this area, and so little in other areas that their bias overshadows
whatever remaining credibility. They they aren't worth the time to
listen to them.

Or anybody else, for that matter. Watching TV for information is like
trying to get an education at a car lot.

I cruise a couple of User Submitted Content sites, and those get
mined heavily by the MSM - two days after they hit the USC
sites.

Anybody who is interested in details, Drew Curtis of Fark.com has
a book out, and there's always "Manufacturing Consent" and "The
Hidden Persuaders".
