I don't understand the current fashion for making CD transfers from LP
pressings, except in cases where the studio master tapes are truly lost.
For example, why would anyone want a Callas opera recording transferred
from an early EMI LP, when the same performance is available transferred
from the tapes?

It all depends on the quality of the transfer. A good transfer from a good LP may well sound better in many ways than a poor transfer from a master tape.

But surely, that is not news.
