worst sounding great lps

good thread--interesting and controversial responses. katy lied had a whole checkered history--apparently the original mix was botched due to dbx and had to be remastered--there's an interesting article about it here: http://www.steelydan.com/dennys3.html. i still think it sounds pretty good, though flatter and not as expansive as their other stuff.
gotta disagree with zep and derek and the dominos--love 'em.

Motorhead - Ironfist
Jethro Tull - Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll

I have a love/hate relationship with Stevie Wonder's 70's albums; some of the stuff is miked great but almost all the albums sound veiled and a little muffled. Yet the music is AWESOME.

Stones - Exile

Cat Stevens "Foreigner"

All Steely Dan albums but "Aja". Though Aja in CD is terrible.

Last Donald Fagen "Sunken Condos"

Hey Loomis. Hello again. That link didn't work (at least for me).

Try this one (also interesting re Katy Lied).
