Todays new vinyl LP's better than LP's 40 yrs ago?


Are the new vinyl LPs being produced today better than those produced 40 years ago? When buying a vintage jazz album, will I get as good or better sound quality from today's re-issue copy than the original copy issued 40 years ago?

All the 45 RPM Blue note, impulse and Fantasy have been almost perfect, yet 50-59 each.

I have a Classic Record pressing of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, the original is far better than the reissue, in all ways except for pops.

I take back 40% of new albums due to warps, scratches or dips.
The other day we opened 4 copies of Charlotte Gainsburg's new album and they all looked warped. The record store guy said to check back in a few weeks, new shipment.
