Guess that's up to you.

Speaking of vinyl, cover band Kirby's Dream Band put out a 2xLP album on pink vinyl, it has a Sonic 2 medley (with extra bits not found on the digital download or CD versions). Here's a teaser clip from my vinyl rip.
I'm not gonna post the full thing since it's still available to purchase and I don't want to take away any potential sales from my friends in the band.

Agreed, digital audio is a much less limited means of storing sound. And yes, digital audio can accurately store ripped vinyl, but there's a lot of factors in that: the phono cartridge used, the accuracy of the turntable speed, the noise / vibration isolation, the pre-amp, the ADC in the sound card, etc.

The point I was originally trying to make was that listening to vinyl is not just a novelty and that a digital release of a recording does not automatically supersede the vinyl pressing. Don't get me wrong though, there are plenty of crappy sounding vinyl albums out there that are obviously inferior to a the digital version (I'd argue that that's the case for the Sega Dreamcast vinyl... it's far from the best sounding vinyl pressing I've heard). It's just that that's not always the case.

I've already ripped my copy of this vinyl a while back. I've upgraded my turntable since then, and would like to re-rip it but the album's at my parents' place with the other half of my record collection until I sort out a way to safely ship it half way across the country.

Ripped at 24bit/96kHz. I don't know how it compares to doc eggfan's rip (haven't downloaded it) but I know mine plays close to the correct speed

I'll agree that as a format vinyl has a lot of limitations, but there are cases where a proper, high quality vinyl pressing will sound better than, say, the equivalent CD release. It mostly comes down to how the audio is mastered: you'll typically find that an album mastered for vinyl has greater dynamic range than the equivalent CD mastering. For example: Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Notice that all of the Thriller 25th anniversary releases have much lower dynamic range measurements than the vinyl versions? Good ol' brickwall mastering at it's finest.
EDIT: another good example: Foo Fighters' Rope: https://www.youtube....h?v=lQgPAKEbBDY

Just triggerred a glitch in 2P VS Emerald Hill Zone Act 2. I triggered a teleport monitor just before falling into a pit and dying. The teleport animation happened just before the death animation would have occurred, but the teleport never actually happened resulting in me being stuck in this perma-death state and having to wait for the timer to run out.

Not a reliable source. If I remember correctly, the composer credits were assigned based on the information in the game credits alone.
