Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl

@sokogear,
i found out that both black and clear can be found nearly same period in mono as well, still from Classic records.
So many releases in few years period.
Mine is 2008.
And sure prices are high.

If MoFi one steps were clear, you would see 80% reduction in quality complaints on the forums outside audible defects and warps.

@clearthinker - I didn’t mean to imply Donald Fagen is no longer with us. He is the man.

As I mentioned, I have his 9 year old album, Sunken Condos, which came on clear vinyl (not sure if it is clarity vinyl) but it sure sounds great. I have The Nightfly on a Japanese pressing, and it is one my best sounding records, and a favorite.

I don’t think he makes much $$ with records, but has been touring more in recent years, at least once a year, and hopefully he’ll be around soon. Too bad it will never be billed as Donald Fagen since it sells less tickets which means we don’t get to hear his solo stuff. One of his best concerts was when he toured Morph the Cat (which I wish I could get on vinyl without paying a king’s ransom, just like Kamikiriad) and played What I do (the Ray Charles song) and the H Gang....

Dukes of September tours were great too, except when they played a casino, which was the worst concert of his I’ve ever been at, which was still great.

It is normally all in how much care was taken when the vinyl is mastered and pressed that determines the quality of the pressing not the color of the vinyl i have great recordings of all colors and types of music it is all based on the care taken in the chain.

Hi Sokogear
We heard the revived Steely Dan in the Sporting Club Monaco, a very intimate venue, some 15?? years ago.  It was a great concert.

My wife flew to London the next morning and the Dan were in the lounge.  Fagen was sitting with the girl singers and my wife went over and thanked him for the concert.  He was very outgoing and they talked for some minutes.  It is well known he and Becker had fallen out bigtime a long while before.  Presumably the concerts were just a commercial thing.  Becker spent the whole time sitting in a corner by himself with his coffee.  Pity.
