It depends on what kind of digital sampling method they used for recording and post mastering, the most important key point is to keep the dynamic range of the original records, if so, it can keep the playback quality which similar to traditional vinyl's production and playback effects.

I'm guessing that most of the re-issued LPs were captured their sound tracks by using ADC device, so that the bottle neck should be on the quality of the LP sources (I assumed they've lost all the original master tapes. The quality of these tapes were not good enough , even though they are still alive.).  If they are the first edition from the master tapes, say the first 1000 pieces of the publishes, their quality should be the best among the same albums.

Afterward the choosing of LP sources, the post mastering, mixing and manufacturing processes will also affect the playback quality, and then using the DAC device to change back digital signal to analog signal before proceed the vinyl production process.

Anyway, they should be okay, not too bad.

Please forgive my ignorance.

Digital is sampling thing while analogue is reality?

Analogue vinyl sound better than Digitized Vinyl in term of rich, sweet & continuous and real not 0/1?   

If chance, buy old analogue vinyl than new digitized vinyl?
