LP's were for the days when you had a "hifi" and could be produced to actually have a soundstage.
The interesting thing is that's generally the target for SACD, DVD-A (i.e. someone with a high-end hifi). So they generally sound better irrespective of the technical qualities.
Video DVDs that are about musical performances (e.g. a classical concert) also tend to sound better for the same reasons. Although they generally tend to have compression, DTS, multi-channel, etc, etc, which I've never been a fan of.... All the same, the production is usually much better for a hifi scenario.
