Digitally remastered vinyl?


I've noticed a quite a few jazz titles on vinyl which claim to be "digitally remastered", as if that is something good. These titles usually came out in the early eighties. As a vinyl nut, would I really want an LP where the music went through an A to D and then D to A conversion using eighties technology? Were the pro's using 24/96 or better back then? How do these remasters sound?

I own 70% of ECM released vinyl albums(arround 100) almost all digitally recorded or mixed and all with no exception sound superb. More than half on my collection are pressed in Germany.
If the/a problem with CDs is that the original digital recording methods did not capture all the information that is captured by analog equipment, how can an LP of digitally remasteredtaape possibly be as good as analog? The LP may add various colorations and distortions, but it can't add information that was lost at the time a digital recorder was introduced into the chain.
Jackcob, the LP playback system does introduce phase differences between L and R channels and this is what makes most people think that vinyl is more "real" than CDs. If the original digital recording, however, contains these clues (and a good digital recording can contain these clues if the recorder/engineer knows what he/she is doing), then the CD play back will be just as good as the vinyl, minus, of course, the noise etc..

To my ears, TWL and Viridian are absolutely right, they sound mostly pretty flat on a good vinyl system.
Inpepinnovations (cool handle) where did you get the idea that interchannel phase differences are the source of vinyl sounding more "real" than CDs? I have heard many theories on the differences and this is a new one on me. The redbook CD medium cannot pass a recognizable square wave at all. I can't see how any of this will cause the differences noted. There are differences in the harmonic and IM structure of the media as well as distortions unique to each medium such as jitter in digital replay and wow and flutter in analog media but none of it really comes back to interchannel phase differences.
