Does anybody sell vinyl sourced exclusively from analog tapes?

My sister made a comment that records sound better than cd's....that got me going. I know that just because something is digital doesn't make it inferior to analog but, if I'm buying a record I want it to be totally analog...or I'll just buy the digital format.
Yep, my name really is Bob.

    Good question, Bob. Watching.
    Ideally, I'd want to throw in, with proper oversight of the pressing process for high quality, clean, flat pressings.
    I disabled signatures.

    Well, except, e.g., Ry Cooder's Bop Till You Drop. B)

    Image is a borrowed one, but my (purchased-new, way back when) copy still has the shrinkwrap & the sticker on it :) It is a pretty good record, sounds pretty good, too, albeit a little dry.

    In terms of the original question, I suspect (?!?!?) that most of the modern re-releases on vinyl of recordings taken "from the original analog master" (or whatever) pass through the digital domain somewhere along the line for convenience or practicality :|
