I get that.  I over look the lyrics and kind of enjoy the riff.  Not something that's gonna get regular play.

1987 US Direct Metal Master pressing.  Haven't heard this in 40 years.  Be interesting to find out what I do remember.

2022 US Walmart pressing.  One last try to see if I can beat the 1971 OP.  The 2014 didn't do it.

It's better than the 2014 and compares very nicely with the OP.

2022 Walmart US pressing.  This series is simply the best of all the reissues. Kills the 2014 pressings.  Already have II and III, IV just ordered.  Have a good copy of HOTH and the 24 bit files of Physical Graffiti.  I'll be all done with Zep.  Don't really care for the others enough to listen to them as album sides.

After listening again for the first time in 40 or so years, I gotta say that this is the album that kept me into Deep Purple after their breakout with Hush and the other early singles. And also to The Nice and eventually ELP.

I â™¥ Hammonds and Moogs.


this and uriah heep (easy living, july morning, etc.)

wow, i LOVE the cover art.
you know, i was never that into deep purple growing up. i mean, i remember hearing it all the time at the pool in the summers where my aunt (a late teen) and her friends would hang out. so that's what i think of when i hear them. then, last week i was listening to RP (well, maybe it was a couple weeks ago) and i had been alone in the office, so i could have the sound up a little louder than i do normally and a deep purple song came on that ROCKED me. and i was like..."Where have I been? This is fantastic stuff!" i think it was 'Fireball.' anyway...i'll check this album out, thanks!

Mine was, and looked exactly like this one, with full wheel covers and without radial whitewall tires. Even with shag carpet in the back and Craig 8-track, zero dates. LOL
The Best Of The Guess Who including "No Sugar Tonight" probably didn't help, projection being something like 98% of the laws of nature.

I don’t spring for many super-duper vinyl things any more - but the reissue was immediately bought when Acoustic Sounds said it would be available. Hoping that they’ve managed to overcome the legendary dbx problem. And, I have a huge emotional connection to the record (the 8-track, that was stolen from my ‘68 Rambler, along with Deodato’s “Prelude”  and Eno’s “Here Come the Warm Jets” and “Tales from Topographic O” and the first Phoebe Snow and “Just Another Band from LA.”) Typing all that makes me realize why I couldn’t get a date back then.

you may be semi-serious, but this made me chuckle. and i needed that first thing today. thank you! 

i'm extremely passionate about steely dan and all things fagen and becker (for example, i had a bluepoint siamese cat years ago who i named fagen). 

i really enjoy reading what you and kurtster talk about in regard to music in this thread. even if i don't understand half of it. kurt, jealous of that first issue!!

Yeah, I remember when you bought Katy Lied.  I wasn't aware of the project until you brought it up IIRC.  I got 2 copies of Countdown to Ecstasy.  That was the one I had to get and there was a noticeable improvement over my OP.  I've bought the files for Can't Buy A Thrill, Pretzel Logic and last week AJA was just released.  Depending on how this copy cleans up, I'll probably get the file.  I was looking for Songs For Beginners and stumbled on Katy Lied first.  Still looking for SFB.

The dbx problem will only be dealt with if they can keep it in the analogue mode. Grundman and company are doing nothing to fix any glitches in the recordings.  I found that out when I compared the file of CBAT to my OP.  The same issues were present and it was like I was repairing a vinyl album.  I would think that since they are taking it to digital they might try and do some repairing because the untouchable "analogue" qualities were no longer an issue.  PL was better but still had issues.  AJA sounded pretty good first listen.  swell sailor long ago got my 1st press of that but I still have an early rip to compare.  Gaucho, I'm on the fence right now.

Of all my Dan, so far only my copy of The Royal Scam has come out good enough to not want to upgrade.  Easily my favorite from start to finish.

For files I have found an alternative to HDTracks ... prostudiomasters  They're based in Canada, slightly lower prices and provide specs and a bit about the provenance which HDtracks does none of.  After you sign up and do your first purchase they do site wide 25% off very frequently.

That was a nice bit of road music that got bagged.  I got to see Phoebe Snow when she went out and opened for Jackson Browne on the Running On Empty tour.  What a voice.  Love her enunciation.
