Well, yes.

Just reading an interview with Neil Young (HiFi Choice, January 2005),
in which he states,


"The analogue records always sounded better than anything else to me.
But I compared the new vinyl versions, which are taken from a first
generation analogue master copy, and the best just got better. It's a
really good feeling."


Then he didn't like the master tape.

It appears to me that NY is comparing previous analogue records to the new
vinyl versions and not the new vinyl versions to the analogue master copy


That's how it read to me. He says that, of the options available before the
new release, vinyl was his medium of preference and that the new release on
vinyl is even better than the original.
