There are real reasons some vinyl sounds better than CD; on of them is by choice. Dynamic range compression and "filling up until it clips" have had some nasty consequences.
I digitise old vinyl myself, and I found that digitised copies of 12" singles sound really great; much better than "remastered" stuff you can get on CD or by download.
And: poor Ringo.
