Special pressing LPs when the master was digitally recorded?


I am not a novice, but am not sure what the advantage is in having an audiophile LP pressing of 
a recording that recorded digitally?  Any thoughts?

Yes. The advantage is it sounds better.

Do a search, find the interview with Jennifer Warnes. Famous Blue Raincoat is a digital recording. In final mastering they made four versions, one of which was analog tape. All four of them, Warnes, Cohen, the producer and whoever I forget, point is they all agreed the analog tape version was the best.

For years I could never understand why Famous Blue Raincoat sounded so good in spite of being digital. Now at last I know: because its not.

Now that just leaves Brothers In Arms..... which yes it does sound a whole lot better on the MoFi 45. Because: analog.
