“’Everything’ appeared on vinyl in Europe shortly after its release, and Rhino put out a 2LP ‘Two Against Nature’ (with the fourth side blank) for Record Store Day in 2021
I haven’t heard the Euro pressing, but I have the Rhino
The Acoustic Sounds reissue is pressed from the same digital master (by Scott Hull), so its only distinctions are the QRP pressing and 45 RPM speed, but that makes a big difference
Fagen’s voice is clearer, the guitars are pluckier, the horns are brassier, the drums are more eye-blinkingly smacked, and the rhythm is more coherent
The improvement isn’t huge, but it’s obvious
The Rhino LP package is out of print and sells on Discogs for hundreds of dollars, so the Acoustic Sounds package, at $60, is a relative bargain
Everything Must Go was released on vinyl in Europe, and while it too is better than the CD (I have both), the Analogue Productions reissue, which is mastered by Bernie Grundman, is much better still
Here, too, comparisons are academic, as the Euro LP is out of print and selling for three-digit prices on the secondary markets
Both albums are also among AP’s handsomest productions, with a Tip-on gatefold jacket, lush color reproduction, and dead-quiet 180-gram virgin vinyl
If you missed these albums when they came out, at the start of the century, it’s time to catch up, since the times have caught up with them
There’s never been a better way to do so”
-- Fred Kaplan, Revinylization, for Stereophile, September 2022 --
Everything Must Go was Steely Dan's second album after their 20-year studio hiatus spanning 1980 through 2000, when they released Two Against Nature
Everything Must Go is the last studio album with founding member Walter Becker before his death in 2017 and their most recent album to date
Analogue Productions is honored to reissue these Steely Dan albums in a way that best shares the group's unmistakable sound with decades of devoted fans
This reissue is newly remastered by Bernie Grundman and cut at 45 RPM
The dead-quiet double-LP, with the music spread over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately
The result is more sonic punch and more expression captured from the tape
The Quality Record Pressings 180-gram vinyl ensures a virtually silent playing surface
Founded by core members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan's popularity rose throughout the late 1970s on, and their seven albums over that period of time blended elements of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop
Steely Dan created a sophisticated, distinctive sound with accessible melodic hooks, complex harmonies and time signatures, and a devotion to the recording studio
Becker and Fagen, with producer Gary Katz, gradually changed Steely Dan from a performing band to a studio project, hiring session musicians to record their compositions
The duo didn't perform live between 1974 and 1993
But their popularity nevertheless grew throughout the '70s as their albums became critical favorites and their singles became staples of Adult Oriented Radio and pop radio stations
