I know this is a thread for people who like the record, but i have to disagree that it is a well recorded record. It is an influential record ( i think in bad way) in the way it was recorded and it is clean and solid in that 70's way when most peopole were using pretty decent mics and conoles and good players. However, I would never want to listen to it. No room sound to speak of, everything baffled off and dead.

I know people love the record and it is mysterious to me. As for good recording, I would take "clap hands, here comes charlie" or a hundred other records from the 50's any day over the 70's steely dan sound. Oh well, different strokes...
