It should read "as the record company/producer intended"
Most artists (especially if it's their first album) have absolutely no control over how the final recording sounds.
Sometimes, when they get to hear the finished result, they are appalled at what the record company has done to their songs and their 'sound'.
Producers even bring in session musicians after the artists have left and re-record much of the performance.
Also, the budget for recording 'popular' music is very low compared to classical and jazz recordings.
Of course, with most classical music, no one knows what the artist intended 'cos most of them are now deceased! LOL
But the money spent and the immense skill of the musicians and technicians involved usually results in an impeccable recording and final product (whether on Vinyl or CD).
