Early digital recordings on vinyl vs. CD?

Many thanks! This opens up a world of new wonders - Pinnock's Brandenbergs, Gilbert & Schiff playing the Well Tempered Klavier, Uchida's Mozart Sonatas, Brendel's Haydn sonatas etc...

There are a tremendous number of outstanding classical performances on record from the 1980's available on 'digital vinyl'. I will avoid them no longer!

Some of my best sounding LPs are from digital masters as well so I totally agree with Doug. Vinyl playback just does the source more justice than digital playback.

Some digital Vinyl is indeed good but when I see one of those, I look first for a
CD for that title. Sounding good in vinyl also sounds good with the silver disc
(those who do that mastering and know how to do it, can't ruin the digital
process). Most of the Dire Straits vinyl for example is digital and it
sounds good. But when you go back to their first cuts on Vinyl, you can hear the
difference at once (maybe it is System dependent, but generally it is the way it
is), the musical flow is different.
Neil Young once said, listening to digital is like having a shower with thousands
of tiny ice cubes, listening to vinyl is having the shower with water. I don't make
a religion out of it, but when only digital mastering is available, I go for CD.

Telarc is famous for early digital classical...but most of the majors such as RCA, EMI, Denon, etc were releasing digital recordings during this era pre cd....as with most audiophile classical...they incorporated the best equipment at the time...and these are readily available for cheap at most thrift, lp shops....

The early Telarc digital recordings on vinyl are outstanding
