Best format for SteelyDan...

The Platinum Plus reissues on their US label have a pure analogue sound. They were the label response to Mobile Fidelity. They came out in the late 1970s and 1980s. I prefer them to everything else I have heard. Nice quiet vinyl using the original tapes. Hard to find but worthy of the investment. They did a nice job pressing these in small batches.

MFSL version of Katy Lied sounds pretty darn good even with the master recording issue of dbx versus dolby. Very expensive to get a copy on fleabay. I think I paid near $150.00 for a NM copy last month. I was also in an auction for a SS copy and it went for over $500.00. This MFSL LP is one of the 3 rareest since licensing lissues came up and the entire inventory that was not shipped was pulled from the market, hence the low number of this LP out on the street. I recently found a 1/2 speed master of Gaucho (MCA 6102 1980). It sounds the best of all versions I have heard

I find that people that knock "Hot Stampers" have either never tried it or dont have the money to afford one.... I'm just saying..... If you love the record, its worth checking out...

I find that people who buy "hot stampers" also drink kool aid and vacation at Area 51.

Hey, look up there about 12 o'clock..........did you see it?

Take a pill and chill out
