Vinyl does not have the hard frequency cutoff that CD's do.
CD has a 44KHz sample rate (split between Stereo Channels)
OTOH Vinyl just rolls off. CD-4 (Discrete Quad) records had a 30KHz pilot for the rear channel (FM Stereo uses 19KHz to this day) decode.
The overtones (on things like chimes) are lost early on CD.
OTOOH Digital has little snap-crackle-pop that my older records do have (even with care).
