Unless they otherwise unobtainium,

And there's the reason, a lot never made it to CD. Even some that have made
it to CD at some stage or other are difficult to obtain. I expect that may
gradually change as more music finds it's way onto MP3 downloads. And whilst
I would rather have a non compressed format, a decent MP3 will be no worse
than a vinyl transfer in most cases.

the novelty of LP-CD transfers will wear off after approx 3 LPs.
Especially if you subsequently hear a real CD of the album.

I suspect your turntable/cartridge and record condition plays a large part
in your dissatisfaction though.
