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?

You will find exceptions for everything, but in general, the older LP's are MUCH better than the new ones. More silent, not so sensitive for scratches, much better vinyl mixes, top quality even with 90gr pressings for a few $...
A lot of knowledge was lost when the plants closed in the 90's.
