Elvis' 1st Recording Digitally Transferred

YouTube Description:

In June of 1953, Elvis Presley made his first ever recording directly to acetate at Sun Studios in Memphis, TN. This one-of-a-kind piece of music history was recently purchased by Jack White at auction. On February 26th, 2015, Jack White met with legendary music archivist Alan Stoker at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN to have this "holy grail of rock n roll" digitally transferred, so Third Man Records could repress it for the masses. A facsimile of this record, using this transfer without alteration, will be available on Record Store Day, April 18th, 2015. A cleaned-up and re-mastered version of this recording will be available in the near future as a 7" on Third Man Records.Learn more at http://thirdmanrecords.com

Does something like this sound better because psychologically you know it's a direct recording of the singer's voice vibrated and etched onto that surface or does it actually sound better acoustically? Obviously, you'd have to ignore all the crackles.
