I bought an album last year on Cassette. No player but was released as a collectors edition so as its a band I love I had to buy it.
It was Biffy Clyro - A Celebration of Endings

One thing people like with vinyl is often the warmer sound. Or I would argue a bit more muffled sound. Digital mixing can often be a little too strict and harsh.
Equally you also get older recordings with more highlighted instruments whilst when processing music for digital mediums everything is often flattened out evenely so your slightly higher volume of drums in the band that you hear on vinyl may not be as loud on a ditgital recording.

I've still got a large number of my parents vinyl from the 60s and 70s and they still sound great. Not damaged at all after decades of play.
