For all of the 150 or so LPs that I own, I can remember where I bought them and pretty much my life circumstances at that time, so the listening experience is much more than just hearing the music. The same is just not true for downloaded music and particularly not single tracks.
Example - I own pretty much the entire Robert Cray Band output, which spans vinyl, CD and digital download. Best by far in terms of a 'listening experience' are the vinyls. Many more senses/memories/good times involved when putting on and listening to vinyl. I'm strongly persuaded.
