Besides the artwork, I buy vinyl because it requires me to be present in listening. I have to rummage through my collection, pull the record out of its cover (and maybe read it). Then I have to turn it over half way through. Also when people are over I make them do the same. It sparks conversation. I concede I could do all of those things with digital copies but I don’t. If I’m not working, I largely listen to vinyl only now.
