This thread isn't about CDs vs vinyl. This is about making the
recordings I own and buy sound as good as they can.
Only a howling monkee can't see that.

I thought it was about your Dido albums, which were recorded digitally

Maybe that explains why I'm not very impressed with the
mix.

I've encountered digital pop recordings that sounded better on lp, but
that's rare.

so if you want to hear what the master sounded like, keep your vinyl
pristine and unplayed, and listen to the CD.

Unless the cd version is over-compressed and digitally clipped like the
Santana of several years ago. A more recent comparison would be the new
Chili Peppers cd vs the Steve Hoffman-mastered lp.
