STEELY DAN'S CLASSIC ABC & MCA RECORDS CATALOG TO BE REMASTERED FROM ORIGINAL TAPES AND REISSUED ON 180-GRAM BLACK VINYL VIA UMe AND UHQR AND SACD VIA ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS/QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Led by the songwriting and virtuoso musical duo of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan released an extraordinary run of seven albums on ABC Records and MCA Records from 1972 through 1980. Filled with topline musicianship, clever and subversive wordplay, ironic humor, genius arrangements, and pop hits that outshone the Top 40 of its day, their records, which were as sophisticated and cerebral as they were inscrutable, were stylistically diverse, melding their love of jazz with rock, blues, and impeccable pop songcraft.
- Analogue Productions will also release this series of titles on Super Audio CD (SACD).
- Each UHQR is pressed, using hand-selected vinyl, with attention paid to every single detail of every single record.
- The 200-gram records feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR so desirable.
- The Steely Dan vinyl reissue program follows last year's release of Steely Dan's Northeast Corridor: Steely Dan Live!
