If you want to get technical, a record contains more than a CD. That's why they call them samples.

Exactly. A lot of the spatial/imaging information is incomplete on CD. That's not a limitation of digital but a limitation in the cd standard. That standard was set on 20 year old digital technology!! I'm sure that if they developed the standard today it would be quite more comprehensive and the resulting sound would blow vinyl out of the water.
All that obviously means nothing since it would be wasted on the majority of people who are happy listening to 128kbps.
