Tired subject...Steely Dan original pressings

Picked up an ABC black label of CBAT with matrix ABCX 758A. Very clean and QUIET!
Great sonics,mI'm not sure it sounds that much better than the later $1.00  yellow pressings I have, but Im concerned with having originals.

Is this a first year run? Purist geek here that eschews reissues. Did the yellow label begin with Katy Lied? I have white label promos for that and "Royal Scam."

Completed the task of a SD catalog up to Aja with clean period presses. My bin diving suit has been getting a workout lately.

thanks for the info Andrew9405

My  neighborhood record store(yes, I actually have one) has a well informed employee who always gives me a "stamper" alert if something new and interesting comes in.

CBAT was the latest, so I went for it.  Glad I did. Haven't listened to a SD album for quite some time. For me, I now have the definitive lineup-I lost interest after Aja. Gaucho seems to be a favorite for many, but it just doesn't grab me like the others.  

Meanwhile, back to the endless search in the bins.

More to discover
