Was that MP3 encoded from audio ripped from the vinyl (with a good ADC)? ABX tests show that 320kbps MP3 is usually transparent, so for it to be "night and day" suggests the vinyl had better mastering. It's not always the case, but vinyl is sometimes mastered with higher dynamic range than the digital versions.
