There are some outstanding recordings from the 50's and 60's that are high quality, certainly better than may made digitally during the loudness wars era.
I have some outstanding 1950's Mercury Living Presence recordings engineered by Wilma Fine Cozart captured in 176/24 along with other less impressive quality examples by Led Zeppelin, Astrid Gilberto, Renaissance, et. al. either in 192/24 or 96/24. No need to dumb them down to 44/16 only to later *fix* them.
Diddle with the signal as you will. I prefer higher resolution digital remasters from tape either in my downloads library or from Qobuz. :)
