New LPs with CDs inside

LOL, I have been buying the new Blue Note LP's with the CDs inside. I never even thought of comparing the LPs with the CDs. I don't know what that has to do with the enjoyment of the music. Sounds like neurotic behavior to me.

I've heard that the "Mudcrutch" (Tom Petty's band) S/T LP comes with a CD that uses no dynamic compression. The retail CD uses dynamic compression which would be an interesting comparison.

Viridian-> You've never thought of comparing LP's and CD's??? Critical listening is a big part of choosing components for our systems and specific recordings/formats that make the music shine. Nothing neurotic about that, IMHO.

My purpose in posting this thread was partly to find out if progress in hardware & software has led anyone to change his assumption regarding the superiority of either medium. As the gap between these media has narrowed, it's interesting to try & describe the small remaining differences between the two. My own observation is that both the vinyl and CD in some of these combined package releases is of high quality, which somewhat removes from the discussion the variability of quality that one often finds from release to release in either medium. Finally, in recent years CD players have gotten so good that it's more interesting to compare them to record players than to other CD players.

The Petty release is something of a break-through insofar has he allows that purchasers of audiophile vinyl might also enjoy an uncompressed CD. What a concept!

The newest Lindsay Buckingham "Get The Screws" has a CD included with the LP.

Miner,

That's "Gift of Screws", it's the title of an Emily Dickinson poem. It's also my favorite cd of this millenium so I have a question:

Have you compared the LP to the CD and, if so, what's the deal?

Thanks in advance,
Marty
