Vinyl I am listening to...

Tonight,
Paul Simon - Graceland

Was hearing Rolling Stones '30 Greatest Hits' This is a 1977 German pressing by 'Arcade Records'. While it includes the classic hits like "Ruby Tuesday" and others, the recording quality was not liked by me. Also on play was Louis Armstrong 'Greatest Hits'. This is a Gramophone Company of India pressing. While the sound is in simulated stereo, I discovered , much to my chagrin, that abroad it is sold as a 2 LP set, while here this was a single LP with half the songs !
On another note , Satyaki's 45 rpm EP collection looks truly superb. In the seventies, an SP and EP cost less than ₹8/- & ₹14/- respectively. A fair amount in those days!
 
So what makes the CD sound better than the LP?

Songs are of better quality. This Classics Forever CD series comprises extra music. The possible reason could be all CDs remastered by Pancham Studios, Bhuvneswar by Debasish Mahapatra are of excellent quality. He himself is an ardent music fan and understands audio very well. Probably he used better sources and master for audio reproduction. A few CDs like Tumse Milke, Double CD pack, Bullet Train, all classics forever series. Kishore Kumar and Mohd Rafi Down Memory Lane (compilations) are to name a few
