I didn't understand at first your comment about "overcompression" on 
commercial CD's since CD compression technology is simple pulse code 
modulation (PCM) which is a lossless compression techonology (unlike 
MP3).  But then I read your link below and realized that the 
overcompresion you refer to is occuring in the digital mastering stage 
and not the CD PCM conversion.
