My brother has that exact album on vinyl.

lately I've been downloading mostly digital versions of vinyl rips. so long as it's a quality rip, the sound is usually quite superior.

Terrible lighting in this room..

I started last year but am currently out of a job so I'm on hiatus...

16 bit 44.1khz kills most of the vinyl sound.
But you do run into some nice rips.
Often the mastering has been done differently for the vinyl version, less limiting, less accent on higher tones. It usually makes for a relaxed listen.
Still I get the idea most of the vinyl rips are done from cheap ass USB turntables and budget technics, pioneers with stock cartridges. It's nice people take the effort, but in that case my CD player is just better.

I usually grab 24bit's from good setups.

Worth the effort. But they are hard to find .

Yes, I masturbate to my record collection.

You have Seconds of Pleasure! I don't hear too many people mentioning Rockpile. They were probably one of the most underrated band from the UK. Too bad it didn't work out for them.
