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?

How can it be that so many new recordings don't? 

Compression, auto-tune, Apple Inc......(insert long list here). ;-)

Unplugged  on vinyl does sound great exhibiting the attributes you mention. Cheers,
