Steely Dan CDs

FWIW - I've usually had pretty decent luck by at least considering the data from DR.  Steely Dan offerings often do get pretty high marks from DR loudness, but not always...

It is true. This is how I ended up trying to separate wheat and chaff. But the chaff is actually pretty good.

Try Very Best of Steely Dan which is a 2 cd import with 33 songs.  I am a huge Steely Dan fan. This is one of the best recorded cds that I have ever heard. I just checked 15 bucks and change on Amazon. This sound is better than most of my SACD's.

@tuffy72561 Can you tell me what label this is on please? 

The SACD version of Gaucho is very well recorded and makes
 tasteful use of the multi-channel platform. Another good SACD
choice is Dire Straights "Brothers In Arms."
