It holds true for dynamic compressed cd's as well. That is, a decent production does. Not the gross compression and hard limiting which is, sadly, often the case these days.

Masters for cutting disc are eq'd to compensate for the losses in the vinyl chain and prevent curring head overloads in the high frequency range. These masters where often used for cd production as well resulting in poorly sounding cd editions.
Another reason was that with vinyl inaccurracies in mastering where masked by the flaws of the vinyl format.
These where often exposed by the far more accurate digital transfers.
For cd higher standards needed to be maintained.
