How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime?


How do some older records sound insanely great?

I'm listening to Bill Evans "Song for Debbie" on vinyl. The soundstage is palpable. This is a live recording from 1961.   How is this possible?

Yes real sound engineers but also I suppose real producers who let those engineers work. And good engineer knows how to choose equipment and use it.
