Sure, it's much easier to see the tracks, and to recognise different
parts of the tracks on vinyl. It's hard enough seeing where tracks
begin and end on a CD.
I know lots of people maintain that vinyl (analogue) recordings
sound better than digital recordings, but even with all the info
that's lopped off in CDs, I thought the oversampling was sufficient
that the ear wouldn't detect any differences. But then again, my ear
isn't very musical - even on a piano, I often can hear no difference
in the note when the pedals are used.
On Kirsty Hawskshaw's album, it says "Support Vinyl. It sounds (and
smells) better".
