Contrary to what has been posted here, I believe that very, very few of the modern re-issues/recordings are 100% pure analog. The great majority of them, even if all analog until the last nanosecond, are subjected to a digital delay in the final stages of the cutting/mastering process. That is not to say that they are not significantly better than a record which has been subjected to more digital manipulation in the recording chain, but it is certainly why most of the re-issues do not stand up to the originals particularly in terms of dynamics and air (notwithstanding noise and groove damage issues which may be present on the originals and may be another factor in anyone's buying decision).
All that being said, I'd still rather take my chances with vinyl, but I'm not really interested in paying big bucks for new vinyl that has been digitally remastered and/or recorded.
