HELP PLEASE with PRINCE VINYLS

hello;

i just got a new turntable and bought a few prince albums; lovesexy, prince, ATWIAD and DM. These all sound better than the cds especially lovesxy imo

I was wondering what other vinyls; either singles or albums sound better than the cd versions

any thoughts?
cheers

All the old albums from the beginning through the entire 1980s.

Everything sounds better on vinyl, bro fro
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Everything up to Graffiti Bridge definitely sounds much better on vinyl.
From this point on they were mastered with CD in mind, so the sound
quality is pretty comparable between the two formats. However, from
about 1998 onwards, the vinyl releases are actually inferior to the CDs
from a sound quality point of view imo.

I have just started collecting the 70s and 80s stuff on vinyl and the sound is amazing. There is so much more depth and the cds sound so flat after you hear the vinyl. I know you read others saying how great the vinyl is but it is so true.

I got the Alphabet Street 12" today and as soon as I played it I was in awe!!

from 1995 all prince's albums sound horrible(with a couple of exceptions of course).

In recent years alot of his albums have been highly compressed with digital clipping as well.
