Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

possible explanation

Prior to dome tweeters becoming common in the 1970s, most speakers didn't make it out to 20KHz. So recording engineers didn't pay attention to the very top-end because most speakers couldn't reproduce it.

Then, in the 1980s, recording engineers started giving LPs much more sizzle to "compete" with CDs. At least this is true of pop/rock LPs: the 80s ones in my collection are noticably brighter than the 70s ones.
