I have both the lp and cd and it seems to me the LP is much better quality. I played the cd through my car's stereo with a subwoofer and it didn't sound as good as it did via my house stereo with the LP. There are several songs I like to crank it, and those will not ever sound bad. But with the whole album I had problems with clarity. and overall highs and lows. I have replaced all four speakers and my major cd's sound better, but theis one left me wanting more. I suppose you can have it all from one cd, and there will always be one or maybe two songs that don't turn your crank, and sometimes you just are disappointed.
