New LP's made from analog or digital masters

I have to think that the new LPs are digital,since most of them are also available on CD.Verve comes to mind. I guess we should be grateful ANY new LPs being made and should pony up to their absurd prices.
As I have said in other forums:perhaps since vinyl is the only format in the music business that is showing GROWTH,the big labels will jump into the fray.This should drive the prices down with higher production runs. There will always be audiophile labels for short run projects.

I have compared several cds to their vinyl counterparts and have always found the vinyl to be more enjoyable.I say this with a huge disclaimer that I am very much a vinyl fan.
Recently I had a friend over that listens to music on his deck through Bose outdoor speakers.He really liked my system but when I told him how the analog rig sounded much better than my digital,he was in disbelief.
I than played Joni Mitchell "Hejira" cd and then the LP.He was immediately sold by the first cut.This is a fairly revealing disc (the CD is a HDCD).highly recommended.

I just got a "old Digital"pressing from 1983.I have had the CD since it came out and having just listened to the LP I can say without any doubt it blows the silver disc away.The CD can't touch the top end extension and presence.The overall decay is so much better it sounds like a different room.It takes a 4-5 sec. room and makes it 7 seconds. The bass extension is also on another plain from the CD.Organ pedal notes that are quite substantial, and the organ's tuba stop can part your hair.
This is King's College's "O Come all ye Faithful". Another very fine Christmas from Kings(they must have 20 of them over the years).It is on Argo/Digital.
The copy I got off Ebay is not in the best condition and yet I cannot even think about listening to the CD.
So I guess either some of the engineers knew what they were doing by 1983 (the first year for CDs),or they got lucky.

all this on a "very revealing" but very "budget"system with a Radio Shack TT.
