Cheers, I thought that might be the case. While I like the fact that vinyl records are regaining popularity, I'm only really interested in AAA ones, as just pressing digital files onto vinyl is pointless. It's a long way back before most people re-realise the value of good analogue recordings (not counting those who already have). That's not to mention low-quality or average analogue recordings, which of course would likewise come back.

I'm way way beyond that kind of reckoning. I have a lot of records, have done from teenage years, never stopped. I've been collecting a lot of AAA pressings. If you want to only buy AAA then look at Speakers Corner, really good value in Europe.
I could talk all day about all analogue pressings but I'm not a devotee and don't believe there's no reason to own a digital file pressed onto vinyl.
Watch Michael Fremers "All Analog records you should own" video and buy as many as you can. I have over half of them and he's picked a great bunch.

You're almost always going to need to dig for that information. I would assume that they are not entirely analog unless expressly and obviously marketed as such. The rare ones that are AAA and not described that way are sweet finds but rare.
