You should keep the LPs. In my view, owning them is in a sense a 'key' to
being able to play the digitised version in moral terms.

Ah. I missed that point, didn't think of it. It is a point.

And at some future point there is a risk you'll need the LP anyway.

The ones I passed on were the ones where I don't foresee that. I can't see
any reason except for the sleevenote info, and they were pretty mainstream
stuff, where the info's highly likely to be available courtesy of the 'net
if I ever need it (which I don't see as particularly likely). The ones I
kept were mostly the obscurities that never made it onto CD - little 70s/80s
Swedish traditional-music labels, and the like.

The final link in my personal chain was when the price of "enough" USB
storage dropped below £50. I have a copy of Everything in my pocket.
