Sorry I just can't understand spending that much on an LP especially one with no recording costs. I wonder how the sound compares with the SACD version at 1/5 the price. I'm sure if folks refused to pay ridiculous prices they would come down.
Steely Dan "Can't Buy A Thrill" on UHQR vinyl
I've had my copy for a few days now and have listened through several times.
Steely Dan is my favorite band ever, so I have a ton of their stuff. This particular album I have a US and UK first pressing. A German and Japanese pressing and the Speakers Corner reissue.
This is by far the best copy I've ever heard. I liked the German and Speakers Corner copies the best until now.
$150.00 is a chunk of change, (a tad high IMHO), but it's a great album and the pressing is top-notch.
Next album, (Countdown To Ecstasy), is due the first of December or so.
