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.

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.

Marco:

Thanks for the tip--I just bought the Junkies CD. Looks GREAT! BTW, I like the way the track sequence laid out on the Tigerlilly 45RPM set. It just seems to work and makes flipping the sides less bothersome. Having now compared the two (CD and LP) I agree with Chris. The CD has a rising upper mid that gives a slight edge to Natalie's voice when played at volume. The LP is smoother through this range. Overall, the LP is much more realistic and engaging.
