Sound quality of new vinyl recordings.

I've brought 180G copies of my favorite LP's. Most were definitely better then the old pressings. But as @vonhelmholtz stated, it all depends on what company did the new pressing. Getting opinions is your best bet on which ones are better or not. 

I would recommend The Robert Plant/Alison Krauss release on vinyl as a great recording. Although, I cannot tell how much of it was analogue vs. digital  recordings/mixing. A good sign in my point of view. My turntable/cart combo is around $5K, just FYI. 

Third Man Records. 

I received a lot of insight to my question, should be relevant for you:

"My system will expose bad recordings." 

Dont buy new records then, there are a few exceptions from companies like RTi or Mofi that still know how to press a quality record. Check out Hotstampers.com or find old original used records from estate sales, friends, family, and record conventions,used record stores,antique malls, garage sales, anything found here will blow away some fancy packaged new expensive re release.  New records sound like a blanket was thrown over my system....yuk! Artists like Nora Jones, Leon Bridges, Kandace Springs are not represented well on vinyl ...very disappointing.
