I don't really buy vinyl to listen to it, but for the larger cover art and liner notes
-
The only vinyls I buy are from charity shops or because I love an album so much that I want it as a collection (I'd also buy the CD to actually listen to)

Yeah, I haven't bought a new record in a long time, and one of my most prized albums is a 1970 radio-played copy of The Kinks "Lola vs. Powerman and the MoneygoRound" complete with the dates and times they played Lola."

That is definitely something I loved about LPs. I used to have a big book of album cover art. I have no idea what happened to it unfortunately, but I used to pore over it. Liner notes are less of an issue with the internet, but the shrinking of art was a very unfortunate result of CDs.

I remember getting a copy of Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" that came with a whole-ass newspaper they made folded into the liner with lyrics and pictures. That's something you can only do with vinyl.

Definitely. Similarly, Negativland's album Escape From Noise came with both a bumper sticker and a booklet all about the history of Negativland.
