Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily on LP...any good?

I have it and like it very much. Can't say I've done a direct comparison with the Redbook CD, which I own--just haven't had the inclination. Such a great record--just seems right to have it on vinyl.

It's one of my favorite cd's, and I'd love to have it on vinyl, but I think I'll wait for a 33 1/3 version. I'll be honest, I've bought a few of those classic 45 series, they cost a pretty penny, and the sound is really good. However, IMHO, the step from digital to vinyl is much larger than the sonic step from 33 1/3 to 45.......and I'm lazy I guess. I get tired cleaning more records, de-magnitizing more records, 10 minute play times.
It's fine if your showing off the rig, or want to totally focus on playing with your toys. However, as one who cleans the stylus, dry cleans the record, and demagnetizes the record after every side, doing this every 20-25 minutes is often enough for me. :)
I find I don't listen to those 45's very often.....and then I think about how much I paid for them. :(

I'm hoping they will release this on 180g or 200g 33 1/3 in the future.

Cheers,

I have both the LP and the CD too. The CD is kinda crappy sounding to me.... Real up front in the upper mids, and very compressed sounding. The LP is a lot better IMHO. Definitely smoother, more laid back sounding. More dynamic too.... Pretty much the "why I like analog compared to CD" argument from me..... In the end, I still don't think it's a super great sounding LP, but pretty good with some really great music.

Hope this helps,

Chris

I have heard both, from mofi and if you like her, it is well worth getting. I am in Calgary so if you want hear the mofi cd drop me a note. The lp belonged to a friend.
