Steely Dan - The Royal Scam
And 3+ years later, the full set of UHQR Steely Dan remasters is complete.
Amusingly, some are complaining that things are pitched up on this release. Thing is, that was how Becker/Fagen wanted it, and how it when when I bought my first copy. The CD remasters were wrong.
Anyway, maybe a touch too smooth—MAYBE—but overall I'm pleased. Not the overly harsh treble of the CDs.
Steely Dan - Katy Lied
Let’s get this out of the way first: this is the new, Analogue Productions UHQR version of Katy Lied, and it’s the best it’s ever sounded.
Does that mean it sounds perfect? This is not Aja. Whatever went wrong with the dbx system went wrong. But it still sounds great…and musically, this was the transition to Jazz-Pop from Pop-Jazz. Just a great set of songs, and a stellar group of musicians serving that vision.
#NowSpinning #KindOfBlue by #MilesDavis. One of the great albums of all time (obviously) & the perfect soundtrack as I #write.
This is the #UHQR cut at 33 - & it sounds so so good - save a pressing defect across 30secs of Blue in Green.
Another evening, #writing another chapter, while listening to this, the #UHQR of #Elephant.
This is the best sounding version of Elephant - and likely the best sounding record in my collection.
Steely Dan - Gaucho (UHQR)
No picture, sorry (I forgot when listening - use the other post as a reference).
The UHQR of Gaucho, despite not being from the original master, sounds significantly better than the same 33RPM cut (from a digital source).
Whether that's due to the all-analog or 45RPM or "clarity vinyl" doesn't really matter - it sounds great.

Attached: 1 image Steely Dan - Gaucho (Bernie Grundman remaster) After yet-another-US-pressing disaster, ordered an EU pressing of the Gaucho remaster, and this is much more like it. Anyway - Gaucho has always been a good sounding album, and this new version is, too. Cymbal work is a little 'splashy' - is that Wendel or is it the digital master? We'll find out when the UHQR comes out, I guess. Lots of detail...you can almost see the cocaine that fueled the (ob)sessions. #nowplaying #vinyl #steelydan
After the debacle of #MUFC’s humiliation, I’m consoling myself with an Old Fashioned & #MilesDavis. I’m #NowPlaying #KindOfBlue, one of the greatest albums of all time.
This is the #UHQR from #AnalogueProductions cut at 33 by #BernieGrundman. My copy, unfortunately, has a pressing defect on the the first 30 seconds of Blue In Green. Otherwise this is immaculate, stunning, & oh so moving - bested only by the UHQR at 45 (which I also have).
🤘 The Metal Dog 🤘
