There are some copies of the Samurai Champloo soundtrack on 3xLP available via vinyl-digital. It's the 2012 repress according to the listing:

Actually, there's a much more affordable repress open for pre-order from this site:

There's a special repress up for Meitei's Komachi. A bit pricey at around $45 USD shipped, but it looks lovely. This is worded much better so I'll just repost the description from the artist's bandcamp:

 

Quote

"I want to revive the soul of Japan that still sleeps in the darkness” - Meitei / 冥丁

Haunting and delicate, distant and timeless, Komachi is awash with white noise, complex field recordings and the hypnotic sounds of flowing water. Though confidently contemporary, like a bucolic J-Dilla, Komachi’s lineage can be traced back to the floating worlds of Ukiyo-e and Gagaku via the prism of 80s Japanese ambient pioneers, and 90s pastoral sample-based artists such as Susumu Yokota and Nobukazu Takemura.

Composed as individual sonic dioramas, each of the twelve tracks have been crafted to not only evoke feelings of nostalgia but to also explore the dichotomy of ancient and new in modern Japanese society. This pervasive narrative runs throughout, calling to mind the work of authors Yasunari Kawabata and Natsume Soseki, as well as the films of Yasujirō Ozu and Hayao Miyazaki, artists similarly fascinated by the reflective tranquillity that permeated traditional Japanese domestic life."

Princess Mononoke is up on Amazon JP. You can nab these at like $5-6 cheaper than most other US distros. First time I felt compelled to grab the symphonic suite in addition to the OST. Came out to roughly $55 shipped for the OST and $45 shipped for the SS.

Nice collection. Jealous of that Blue Blood.

 

I don't know if that's exactly the case. Sure, most things (if not everything) are likely recorded digitally so you lose that real analog sound (especially true for electronic music), but a lot of labels do take the care to create vinyl specific mixes so the listening experience is definitely different.

 

I certainly have bought some records where you can tell it's a straight transfer of CD audio onto a slab of wax and those usually sound lacking in dynamics and compressed. Metal Resistance by Babymetal and Vol. 3 by Slipknot fall in this category. Those were mixed terribly to begin with though.
