Frankly I'm sick 'n' tired of hearing about it, but I have to add my idea anyway.
Why not rerelease it three songs at a time on CDsingles and 12"s?  Over the course of a year, everyone who wants it will have it in its entirety; and it'll still be somewhat obscure because it'll be "b-sides."

I reply:
The problem with this is that an LP is so incredibly different in concept to a single.  They aren't just "collections of songs".  Tigermilk flows brilliantly from song to song and each has it's place and order (that's one reason I find it to be such an incredible album).  Singles are sort of the same but I guess less so (a sides can kind of be different to b sides).  But still, when a band makes a release, I'm sure they agonize over what songs to put on and where.
