BTW I will go out on a limb and say most all new vinyl these days is digitally remastered. If the recording was done in the 70s or older it was with few exceptions originally an analog master.
Records stopped making sense as a recording delivery medium once digital took root in the 80s. No reason to put new recordings on 100 year old technology.
I have a large record collection From way back . I bought a new good turntable to be able the play those records and not have to replace them.
I don’t buy new overpriced vinyl with digital source material on it. Pointless. Unless you just enjoy the ritual of playing records.
Records do have the advantage of being a large enough format to support delivering nice and informative packaging like was often done in the early days to help a release sell. But even most of that material is available elsewhere on the internet these days. Much like many books.
Times change.....
