V. Morrison Moondance reissue vs 2nd press what is the fascination with digital on vinyl?

The only ones I know that have done it on a regular basis are Mobile Fidelity, Analogue Productions, Classic Records, and Music Matters.  Older ones are Speakers Corners, Nautilus, and Simply Vinyl.  So I would say unless its an all digital recording from Day one, unless its on one of these labels, buy the originals.

Then of course there are the mastering engineers. 

Another thing would be if its digital, why put it on a record to begin with?

If it was so expensive to make an analog record in the past, how did they do it?   why did they change things?  Sort of like Plasma.  The new TVs have black blacks, crushed blacks that is and look almost cartoon like in presentation of film and video.  Some things just do not get better, they get cheaper.  

Direct disc, I will have to remember that.

I have the Direct Disc Labs version that I bought years ago. Haven't compared it to any other versions. It sounds very good to me. 

I also have the Direct Disk Labs version and I consider it a treasure. You can really hear the difference.

I kind of wonder what's the fascination with reissues?   I have about 1000 albums, and of those less than 20 are reissues.  I find used vinyl in great shape that sounds great, even though it's 30 or more years old.  I spend less this way, feel a better connection to the artist, and enjoy the fact that it sounds better than it ever did in college.

I'd rather hunt a little bit, buy 3 to 5 used ones than get one reissue, only to be disappointed in the sound quality.

Now that I have grown my collection and have a good selection at home, I can be much more picky on quality.  If I don't find a particular gem today, I can find a gem that wasn't on my list... and eventually I'll find that one I was hunting, making it even more cool!  For example, I hunted for a Danny Gatton for almost 2 years, and when I finally found it... wow!

And the average quality in my collection is getting better every week!
