Old vs. new

I have a simple(maybe?) question for you guys, I have some new versions of albums that I’ve replaced from older vintage records that I’ve  had thinking they would sound better than my older ones, but they don’t, since vinyl  has made a comeback , we’re the older versions engineered and mixed for vinyl and now the new recordings not mixed to favor vinyls characteristics?

I am against digital downloads and streaming because the provenance cannot be verified - unlike physical media like LPs, CDs and Tape.

Most new releases of classic recordings are made from digital files taken from who-knows-what generation of the original master tape. And that master tape is prone to deterioration over time! So I prefer and buy LPs made way-back-when they were first issued! Even if they show some usage wear!

Digital sound is to Analog as Kraft cheese is to artisanal cheese!

In 1978-9 I bought and listened to the Telarc Soundstream digital recordings transferred to LP. Did they sound as good as all-analog? NOPE!
