It might be best to concentrate on buying releases that have some ambition to be good on vinyl.
e.g. Surprise Chef - All News Is Good News on Mr Bongo
Analog recording of a band playing live with a label that doesn't charge the earth but believes in vinyl.
There are no hard and fast rules and personal preference is going to dictate the pool of releases that you can choose from but it's a lot of kissing frogs and some times a prince comes along.
Good point, although most of my collection are new releases/reissues which I'd expect to have well mastered digital release.
I thought generally there's more risk of a record being cut from a CD master rather than a poor digital master accompanying an analogue master on record.
