Just got an LP for my daughter "Grouplove" which is rising in popularity - tunes are catchy.
I got a download code with the album and compared the two to each other ... and found they sounded about the same (not in a good way).
The vinyl was about as thin as the stuff from the 1970's - and it wasn't particularly expensive for new vinyl - but I was chagrined that the compression of an mp3 can transfer to Vinyl just fine!
Also I have an album I truly enjoy - Alabama Shakes "Boys and Girls" - that sounds great on my system (though you can tell the mastering job isn't going to win awards it still sounds good enough that you can enjoy it and a step above CD) - but a friends it sounds collapsed veiled and compressed (he's got a SOTA Saphhire with Ortofon Vivo cart, Belles Phono Amp, Belles stack driving Maggie MG3's) that it is hard to listen to.
