ALBUM NOTES ......

Steely Dan is an American jazz rock/rock band consisting of core members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. The band's popularity peaked in the late 1970s, with the release of seven albums blending elements of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop.[1] Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies."[2]
The band's music is characterized by complex jazz-influenced structures and harmonies played by Becker and Fagen along with a revolving cast of rock and pop studio musicians. Steely Dan's "cerebral, wry and eccentric"[1] lyrics, often filled with sharp sarcasm, touch upon such themes as drugs, love affairs,[3][4][5][6] and crime.[6] The pair are well known for their near-obsessive perfectionism in the recording studio,[7][8] the most extreme example being that Becker and Fagen used at least 42 different studio musicians, 11 engineers, and took over a year to record the tracks that resulted in 1980's Gaucho—an album that contains only seven songs.[9]
Steely Dan toured from 1972 to 1974, but in 1975 became a purely studio-based act. The late 1970s saw the group release a series of moderately successful singles and albums. They disbanded in 1981, and throughout most of the next decade Fagen and Becker remained largely inactive in the music world. During this time a cult following[1] remained devoted to the group. In 1993, the group resumed playing live concerts; later Steely Dan released two albums of new material, the first of which earned a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. They have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2001..........

Im den 80er Jahren, produzierte die Firma Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab LP-Alben in aussergewönlicher Qalität . ...........

Es handelt sich hierbei um audiophile Raritäten und eine der bestklingendsten Schallplatten die jemals hergestellt wurden. Das original Masterband welches zur Produktion dieses audiophilen Highlights zur Verfügung stand, war von exquisiter Qualität. Was dann die Spezialisten von MFSL daraus machten kann man nur als sensationell bezeichnen. Nie wieder wurde vermutlich solch ein Aufwand zur Herstellung einer LP betrieben (was vor über 20 Jahren für einen horrenden Preis sorgte). Sorgfältigst mit der Halfspeed Schneidetechnik geschnitten und in 140 Gramm Japan Virgin Vinyl gepresst wurden weltweit nur etwa 50000 Exemplare hergestellt.
MFSL Schallplatten wurden aus einem besonderen Kunststoff, mit der Bezeichnung „Japan Vinyl“ hergestellt. „Japan Vinyl“ wurde unter der Verwendung von hoch polimerisierten Kunstharzen, mit einem hohen Anteil an Vinylacetat gefertigt. Die Eigenschaften dieses Werkstoffs sind eine enorme Elastizität, extreme Strapazierfähigkeit und ein exzellenter Signal-Rauschabstand (signal-to-noise-ratio). Der Frequenzgang ist so präzise, dass über einen Bereich von 20Hz – 20kHz, Abweichungen von nur +/- 0,5 dB auftreten.  ...........

The until-recently-defunct "Mobile Fidelity Labs" audiophile album vinyl pressings were not only analogue, audiophile masterpieces and connoisseur delights, they have become true pieces of audio history and lore. These majestic recordings received a meticulous and laborious treatment like no other recordings in the entire history of the recorded sound. They are characterized by the massively extended dynamic and frequency range, mastering from the very first generation of original master tapes, almost compulsive attention paid to the detail and integrity of the pressing, and the highest quality of the material (only the "virgin-", audiophile-grade vinyl was used, and most of the titles were pressed by RCA/Victor and/or Warner-Pioneer corporations of Japan, both known for their near-obsessive attention paid to the fine sonic detail and audio craftsmanship); a special proprietary  technology was used to achieve analogue-like, warm, translucent, radiant, vivid and all-encompassing sound. To this day, many of these recordings remain unsurpassed, delivering music reproduction as close to the actual recording session as possible, without any loss of musical information inherent in the standard practice of mastering from the inferior "production" copies.  EVER SINCE THE MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS TEMPORARILY CLOSED IN DECEMBER OF 1999 (ONLY TO REOPEN IN 2003), THESE RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN ESCALATING IN VALUE AND DEMAND.
