The test should be three way, CD vs. LP vs. the real thing.  To 
make it fair it would have to be more than blind. :-)

Ms. McBroom on LP sounded more like a real singer than Ms. McBroom on
CD.  The differences involve qualities like air, depth, dimensionality, 
etc.  However, the record is NOT a solo album.  There are other musical 
instruments on the recording, e.g. clarinet.  I am quite familiar with the 
live sound of these instruments and find their LP rendition more accurate.

Incidentally, I didn't think the sound on the CD was bad at all, UNTIL
I heard the LP.  Perhaps you should have kept your turntable.
