It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The original '81 LP release...

Sony used the digital tape to make the master. Digital technology was so new at that time, Sony ran both the digital and analogue tape * just in case* at the time of recording.
The State of Wonder CD was made with the original *analogue* master. Not the digital.
The recent reissue by Analogue Spark used the same analogue tape to make the record.

Oddly the worst sounding out of all three are the original vinyl release with digital tape as a master. I also have the Legacy series box set (digital version ) and they don't sound as good as either the analogue sourced State of the Wonder CD or Analogue Spark reissue.

btw, I agree with you. I also prefer his later '81 set.
