I'm not entirely sure when I first started collecting that I knew any better. A lot of times I assumed "oh it's on vinyl, it's supposed to sound better that way!" Even now, there are albums that I know were recorded digitally that I could just buy a FLAC or WAV file of and the sound difference wouldn't be all that different, but I still buy the vinyl. In the case of the Jorge Ben, I think they figured that most VMP members would be amped about it being available in the US for the first time. Plus, I assume the majority of VMP members do not even ask about the source and accept that it says "from the highest possible quality source".
