Sure but that's to comment the popular assumption that because it's put out on vinyl it must be good because it requires more effort. Listening at some samples on decks.de I wonder sometimes why someone cared.

It does, but it goes both ways. Physical labels are more likely to press something that's been tried and tested, since there's more on the line. This can lead to the same old formula repeating itself.

Digital labels on the other hand, while they have more freedom to do what they want, suffer from the lack of quality control since it's so easy to release an mp3. The tracks probably won't be mastered properly either.

But like I said, I've personally found that the quality control of vinyl trumps the sheer quantity of digital releases. If you'd like to argue different, go ahead.
