Those old recordings were typically done on 2 inch analog tape, which has 10 times the audio fidelity or "data" than any modern digital master. This is why the old vinyl records sound so much better, like you are sitting in the same room with the band, much more "live" sounding. They were so much more dynamic than the newer digitally mastered recordings, which sound flat and compressed... Much more fun to listen to, in spite of the scratches, clicks and pops. I still have a remnant of my vinyl collection, maybe 100 albums or so.
They are pressing vinyl from newer digital masters, but they suck compared to the old analog recordings. Also, if you listen to anything that's been converted to digital, it loses it's "life".
