New Vinyl

(I realize they are responsible for their MFSL releases)

This only goes more to support my point!

I think, even I could run a successful business if I manufactured a niche product that can demand high prices and when said product was in some way defective, I could charge my customer for my fault. A great business model from one perspective, for sure.

@bdp24 - I think, at least with the audiophile reissue houses that go to the trouble of sourcing from tape (and have the clout to get access to the tapes), they usually don't want to take risks given the upfront costs- that is why it is the same popular titles that get reissued again and again. And since those sell, why not go back to records with a proven track record?
I wind up buying a lot of stuff from offbeat labels- Svart and Second Battle come to mind. In some cases, the older reissues may (not sure) come from tape sources rather than a digital file from the label. That said, the quality of some of the digitally sourced vinyl is pretty good- better, I think, than it used to be in many cases.
Planet Waves is a record I've owned from the time of release. I still have my original copy; I also have an old pink rim I picked up along the way-- I think it is a German pressing. Though I bought it some years ago, cheaply, I still don't think I've listened to that copy. 

Bill, your reasoning makes perfect sense; that hadn't occurred to me! Planet Waves came out on Asylum Records, and is Dylan's lone non-Columbia release. I haven't gotten the MFSL LP yet, but at Amoeba Records in Hollywood found the Japanese Sony SACD from the early 2000's, put out no doubt to provide some source material for their new $3000 SACD player. I don't intend to get the MF SACD, but a comparison of the two versions would be interesting.

A stunner on Vinyl is the new Mary Chapin Carpenter, Sometimes Just The Sky

Via download or streaming this sounds like nothing but the vinyl is a beautiful natural acoustic recording (with some annoying vocal echo on a couple of tracks) -- reminds me of classic 70s Brit folk sound, not surprising as it's a Real World Studios Recording

Start with track C1, Rhythm of the Blues, to see what I mean

Most of Dire Straits best records have been reissued from Germany's Pallas pressing plant and they sound great. I confess to not having been a huge Dire Straits fan until "rediscovering" just how good they were recently with these new re-issues. "Love over Gold" is a must have IMHO. You may have noticed that at the most recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, David Knopfler refused to attend despite the pleas of his bandmates. That means nothing, but I admire him for it nonetheless. 
I also second the recommendations of the Brian Eno releases and Gillian and David's "The Harrow and The Harvest".
