I would very much doubt that the Blue Note Norah Jones is all analog mastered since none of the other Blue Note LP's issued in 20 years have been. You need to go to the specialty labels (Classic records, Acoustic Sounds etc.) for that. If it doesn't say analog mastered from the original tapes, it is digitally mastered.
Current recordings on vinyl?
Are current musical artists being recorded in analog at all? I mean, if they are directly recorded to digital, be it pcm or dsd, what is the use of remastering them for vinyl? I have a reasonable collection of old vinyl or reissued...BUT...the primary recording, i.e., master tapes, were analog. Many of these sound great, especially on vinyl.
Take for example, Patricia Barber, Diana Krall, the Mahler symphonies by various orchestras. If they were recorded digitally, they already have the limitations of digital. Vinylizing them doesn't remove that.... does it? It would make more sense to buy on SACD if available, especially if primarily recorded to DSD.
