Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick actually opened out into a full-size newspaper. Beatles Magical Mystery Tour came with an album-sized booklet of photo stills from the movie.
The sound quality of analog (vinyl) sound is more "three dimensional" to the ear whereas the discrete point sampling technique of digital audio is always flat and two dimensional sounding to me. For example, if I listen to "Twist and Shout" on vinyl, I can "hear" Ringo's drums as actually behind John's vocals. However, digitally-recorded audio seems to have all the instruments and voices side-by-side in a line without anyone being "behind" anyone to give the three-dimensional effect.
Easier to hear than it is to explain.
