Listen to a modern reissue by Analog Productions / Quality Records or MoFi and they will take your head off they sound so amazing.
However it does take a fairly decent vinyl setup (cart/tuentable/phono preamp) properly set up to get there. noise is rarely a pervasive issue. despite having a really nice digital setup with lots of uncompressed FLAC and DSD files I prefer listening to records ~ 90% of the time. this is after getting back into vinyl about 2-1/2 years ago having not played an LP for 25 years.
Despite all of the minor issues vinyl sounds more natural in timbre and is more life like.
