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?

Most new vinyl are somehow made with many and I really mean many flaws. Most are warped. What is the use of 180g or 200g virgin vinyl when almost all of them are so badly pressed?? Some so called virgin vinyl sound like sandpaper. Also the originals are somehow better sounding 9/10 times!

Yes, there are some re-issues that do sound spectacular but they are rare like a needle in a hay stack.
Pressing an LP is an art and was an art back then and that art is LOST!

But if whatever you're looking for is not available in originals, ya gotta still buy them new. That sucks!
