Steely Dan vinyl availability?
Posted by: Chris M on 15 April 2005
Dear all,
can anyone tell me about the current situation with regard to availability of new Steely Dan vinyl? I have managed to buy "Everything Must Go". Are "Gaucho","Two Against the World" or any of the 70s records readily available? Also, I noticed that most of the seventies back catalogue are available as "remastered" CDs, are these worth buying? IMO the remastering industry reaps varied rewards. However knowing the nature of the group in question, if they were involved in the remastering process, the result would probably be worthwhile, is this the case?
yours, Chris M.

try your local 2nd hand record store (if you have one) there are hundereds around. I picked up Gaucho and its a masterpiece, my copy is clean as a wistle and the production quality is to die for, if you want to compare Vinyl vrs CD this is the one to do it with !!
Anyhow I also managed to get kate lied, pretzel logic, Aja, countdown to ectasy all from the same shop, job lot £10 bloody bargin

Your post spurred me on today to pop down to the harbour (thers a good, but on occasions , expensive) 2nd hand record shop.
I picked up "cant by a thril" for £3.50 and its flawless. What production for 1972 the tinkly bits on the end of "turn that heartbeat" are fantasitc. Play this and you smile all the way to your next LP12 upgrade
Also got moondance for £3.00 by luck flawless again as my last copy looked mint but had terrible end of side distortion

So you know Brixham then
Believe it or not it isnt a charity shop, its a real record shop (2nd hand only) he buys job lots, doenst clean them or grade them just adds a few quid and moves them on, so if your carfull you can get a bargin, however some/most of the stuff is fit only for the bin (or rega TT
