This is exactly what I had in mind when I started my thread about old vinyl appreciation.
And you are also right about the timeline - first digital recording/mastering came about by the end of 70s..
To me, the pinnacle of analog recording, and mixing/production is Sade´s first albums... there´s nothing like that IMO
