Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"?

I just listened to a new CJ Trin Sessions (RCA 8568-1-R). What a HUGE dissappointment compared to the Gold CD. I could tell this thing sucked from the first 5 seconds where I could barely hear the the ventilaton system running in the background in the church.

Is there an LP pressing of this album worth getting, i.e. better than the CD?

ADDENDUM: to be complete, i should have added that the system i described in my friend's sound room used tara the zero and the one for cabling and ic's, respectively. -kelly

My 'Trinity Session' LP is a BMG/RCA. I got it for $4 thirty minutes after buying my first record player (a rega 25). It had just hit the 'new today' bin. A great shopping moment to remember....
I greatly prefer it to the standard 'rca' CD I have. Cleaning it with a record cleaning machine then putting Last Preservative on it made a big difference in sound quality. Seems like her voice was more delicate and airier back then.

By the way, my LP's numbers are: 7863-58568-1, 8568-1-R (same as metaphysics).

Get the original vinyl pressing on the small Canadian label - Latent. It sounds fantastic.

With all the interest in the Junkies, one might wonder if it might make sense to re-record the Trinity Sessions CD in a new DSD SACD format like Mark Levinson is doing at Red Rose Music in NYC. I believe just about everyone who owns a CD player that can play the SACD format would probably buy one. Just a thought...
