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?

Don't forget that recordings, starting about 1982, had digital involved.  Current digital might be much more acceptable, but I don't like most cd's until about 2000.
