Bombay sounds very nice in my system. I don’t have a digital set up. So can’t compare with CD. If I remember the digital sound, it was thinner sounding
I have had many people sending me PMs, asking me about sound quality of vinyls of new films. IME, for films released post 2000, they have all been good to excellent. And in almost all cases they are better sounding than the CD counterpart. Exception is Lagaan where I prefer the original Austrian Press CD.
For films released between 1990 and 2000, it’s a bit of hit and miss. Baazigar, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Raja Hindustani, etc all sound better on first press CD.
I do not recommend buying of new LPs of films which were released pre 1990s. There are 3 exceptions to this where the new release is clearly better than the original. These are Sajda, Dil Padosi Hai and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.
Coming specifically back to Bombay, the vinyl goes deeper than the CD. So it’s very important that your turntable be able to play bass at least in the 30s. Most vintage turntables i have heard roll off in the 40s. If that’s the case, then Bombay will not sound good
