Fagen, Donald - The Nightfly - Super Hot Stamper

Fagen, Donald - The Nightfly - Super Hot StamperSuper energetic and present, this copy is on a completely different level than most pressings. We recently finished a big shootout for Donald Fagens solo effort from 1982 (just two years after Gaucho and the end of Steely Dan) and we gotta tell you, there are a lot of weak sounding copies out there! We should know; we played them. Weve been picking copies wherever we can find them in the hopes that wed have some killer Hot Stamper copies to offer, but

perhaps because the cover does not help to sell the album

just the band

but the result is a copy that never comes to life the way the best do

Avoiding the Smear

What The Best Sides Of Bashin' Have To Offer Is Not Hard To Hear

This is one of my favorite albums

these elements end up fighting for space in the midrange and getting lost in the mix

I won't bore you by trying to recap his talk

really start to love it (I hope)

If you don't mind putting in a little hard work

I'm pretty sure our customers do

His style is so recognizable that it's a bit of a shock when he plays because Hank Mobley is the saxophone player on the rest of the album and he sounds completely different
