Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars?

I'm seeing new vinyl sold in many unexpected places these days.  

For those who have bought a lot of new vinyl,  I'm wondering if these tend to be mastered differently from similar newer CD  remasters that often show effects of the "Loudness Wars"?

Is it a mixed bag perhaps?   Much like CDs?

I wonder because if I knew there was a different mastering done for new vinyl I might consider buying some if I knew. 

But new vinyl is expensive and I would not want to get essentially the same end result in regards to sound quality as I would get with CD for much less.

Just wondering.

Do yourself a favor pick up good used LP’s even a 4th or 5th pressing from the late 70’s or early 80’s will sound much closer to the master tape then these wonder vinyl’s that are pressed on 180 gram lp’s.
AN LP MASTERED FROM A DIGITAL CD MASTER WHY BOTHER
