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


Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily was recently released by Mobile Fidelity as a 180 gram 45 rpm 3 lp set. I was wondering if anyone has listened to this pressing and how it compares to the CD or DVD A.
I'm a big Natalie Merchant fan and was just curious if this lp was worth buying.

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,
John
