Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Steely Dan Available Now
Gold, the album on the left, is from 1982 and was mastered by Robert Ludwig. It’s an OK record, nothing more, and offers few of the thrills that the real albums do when they’ve been mastered and pressed right. (To my knowledge, never by Robert Ludwig.)
The soundtrack album below might interest collectors, but it has forgettable music with barely passable sound. Steely Dan is one of our favorite bands here at Better Records. This is not their best work.
Our advice: Stick with the seven real albums that were released between 1972 and 1980. Each and every one of them is a brilliant work of art in its own way. For audiophiles, it just doesn’t get any better than Steely Dan.
