Early digital recordings on vinyl vs. CD?

Some digital Vinyl is indeed good but when I see one of those, I look first for a
CD for that title. Sounding good in vinyl also sounds good with the silver disc
(those who do that mastering and know how to do it, can't ruin the digital
process). Most of the Dire Straits vinyl for example is digital and it
sounds good. But when you go back to their first cuts on Vinyl, you can hear the
difference at once (maybe it is System dependent, but generally it is the way it
is), the musical flow is different.
Neil Young once said, listening to digital is like having a shower with thousands
of tiny ice cubes, listening to vinyl is having the shower with water. I don't make
a religion out of it, but when only digital mastering is available, I go for CD.

You will find a Fangroup for everything :-)

At one point Neil talks to JM about Digital versus Analog .... here is the exerpt:

JM: How did digital get over if it sucks so bad?
NY: Promotion. Nobody realized digital wasn't as good-because it wasn't an obvious problem. It was more obvious after you listended a while. The first time, "Hey - no hiss, wow great!" You didn't realize there was no sound until a little while later.

JM: I notice I can't listen to as much music on CD.
NY: Right. It hurts. Did you ever go in a shower and turn it on and have it come out tiny little ice cubes? Thats the difference between CD's and the real thing - water and ice. It's like gettin' hit with somethin' instead of havin' it flow over ya. It's almost taking music and making a weapon out of it - do physical damage to people without touching them. If you wanted to make a weapon that would destroy people, digital can do it OK?
