Great songs that suffer from recording decisions at the time. Once it’s on tape there’s only do much you can do. One thing I like about SD reissues is that they are not as compressed as many other recent reissues. I find I have to crank the volume so it’s loud enough for my old guy ears. The songs hold up since their arrangements are so great. I had a great time streaming the 10 songs again last night.
New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer
I don't have a turntable, but in this case, the remastered material is streamable. I did a bit of listening last night and it sounds a bit better, but it’s still far short of Aja, so there’s a let-down effect. “It sounds better” is not the sonic experience of “Wow, this is amazing.”
Still, better is better, and I'll settle for better.

Um, I quoted Donald Fagen using an expletive to describe his reaction to the great Denny Dias’s guitar solo. It’s an amazing solo and moment. It’s here. Sorry for quoting the word Fagen used. That got my post deleted. Apparently, the "use/mention" distinction is irrelevant on this forum. I was not USING the expletive, I was MENTIONING it, because it was relevant to Fagen’s reaction. |
