Digitally recorded lps?

I have found several lps in my collection are touted as being digitally recorded. This was considered a selling point at the time. I must say they sound good. I don't notice any digital glare. I would guess they are from the late 70's or early 80's.

What is the deal? Were the original master tapes done in digital. Kind of like a DDA or DAA recording? If so, why wouldn't the faults of digital be apparant?

What does the cognoscenti say about these?

The truth is,that some labels were better than others.In the classical genre the EMI digital lp's were terrible.The Telarcs were quite good,and some labels,like the "New World" catalog were fabulous.Same thing applies to pop,on certain labels.In the lp digital domain it is quite simply a crap shoot.Also,it depends on your system,and how critical one is.

Best!
