worst sounding great lps

Motorhead - Ironfist
Jethro Tull - Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll

I have a love/hate relationship with Stevie Wonder's 70's albums; some of the stuff is miked great but almost all the albums sound veiled and a little muffled. Yet the music is AWESOME.

Stones - Exile

Cat Stevens "Foreigner"

All Steely Dan albums but "Aja". Though Aja in CD is terrible.

Last Donald Fagen "Sunken Condos"

Hey Loomis. Hello again. That link didn't work (at least for me).

Try this one (also interesting re Katy Lied).

All the comments about Katy Lied are interesting. I forgot about this one. If any LP can make your speakers sound like they are covered by a blanket, this one can.

I have three copies, original, MoFi and a recently acquired new sealed one and all three are unlistenable. Yet, listen to tracks from this album on Steely Dans/Greatest Hits mastered by Robert Ludwig, and the difference is night and day. Especially Doctor Wu, one of my favorite Steely Dan tunes. Thank God for this Greatest Hits compilation. And Robert Ludwig too!
