You hold the right to the work, by virtue of owning the LP.
You have the right to digitize, if only because of fair use (media companies might argue the point, but we ignore them).
You can do whatever you want with your own property -- lock it up forever, burn it in effigy, incorporate it in a shrine to "culture" anything.
However:
If you wish to sell or donate the LP, you are legally and morally obligated to transfer the digital copies as well.
Otherwise you have taken one piece of property and one right-to-own and multiplied it by two.
Does that make it clear?

Which translates to destroying the physical copy if you want to keep ONLY the digital copy.
