R.E.M. Accelerate - LP or CD?


The LP/CD combo is available for around $25. The CD is available for $10.

Is the LP worth double the price?

Did this project start out analog, and the CD was made from some a to d procedure, or did it start out digital, with the LP downstream from a digital original?

I only ask, because I don't see paying a premium for an analog facsimile of a digital recording. Not just the sound, but supporting the whole stinking enterprise in general. Kind of reminds me of some film I shot recently. The local camera shop told me if I get prints made, the process will be digitizing the negs, then printing them out. Be nice to do without the digital stage, although I know digital is and always has been perfect and superior, and that the universal use of digital media is evidence that the messiah's stopped by and the kingdom of heaven has been realized on earth.
Guess I got a bit carried away, just frustrated how hard it can be sometimes to do something without a digital link in the chain. And how fast digital can seem to move to swallow everything up in its path.

The 45s could be cool.
