Edited 9 months agoPeople who claim all MCA rainbow label releases suck need to hear this one. Outstanding.
-
Edited 11 months agoHad this since 1980 and it's been ed over alot but today I had to break it out. Dusty and dirty but after a good cleaning I realized I had forgotten this pressing was so amazing. So much depth and volume. I really feel like I am in the studio. This and Aja are just the pinnacle of engineering. So solid and so many epic musicians doing session work. -
Guess I’m odd man out. After 2 deep cleanings and numerous superficial cleanings, still lot of snap crackle pops. Noisy pressing for me.
-
Edited one year agoCompared this Gloversville pressing to my other copy:
https://discogs.cinepelis.org/release/844094-Steely-Dan-Gaucho
I'm favoring Gloversville in the shootout. The bass and percussion seems more forward in the mix. More impactful. The vocals perhaps a bit more recessed, but the splendid separation makes that no issue. Just one man's set of ears and opinion [downs another tequila shot] -
-
One of the best sounding pressings I own. Only complaint is the noisy MCA vinyl. Most of the time the surface noise is drowned out, but other times it’s annoying. Overall this is great. -
Pressing ring is not from Europadisk, which had a 35mm/70mm dual ring. Photos appear to be an MCA pressing with a 25mm pressing ring -- probably using metal parts from Europadisk.
