Records from the past were recorded with tape and analogue equipment and recorded on vinyl. It then went to digital recordings on CD with digital recording gear.
How are vinyl records of digital recordings better than CD’s?

As a person born in the 50s who only had vinyl I was thrilled to have CDs in 1987. No more pops of hiss. I later moved to SACD that gives a true audiophile experience.
The explanations I see in this thread about the album art and the ritual of playing vinyl do not outweigh the advantages of a better listening experience IMO.
I think it comes down if you care more about the experience or the sound. Since in most cases today there is less need for physical media to have decent sound on most playback devices (earbuds, small speakers) then experience does become more important.
