1970-12-19 + 1975-09-04 are lossless but the quality of the recording (the fullness of the audio spectrum through to @ 20 kHz and above (which are useless to us humans), compared to what you can find nowadays, is different.
Lossy= Quote:"Lossy compression is a data reduction method that reduces the amount of data during the coding process, but retains enough information to be useful. For example, an MP3 file is a lossy music file that discards some of the original data but is still acceptable for music listening. The advantage of lossy compression is that the music file takes much less storage space."
Basically lossy is the loss of information (that cannot be returned to the individual file). You can compress a file without making it lossy but too much compression will make it lossy.
Look it up on Wikipedia!
