i have the OG MoFi and it's very mediocre at best. I can't say I have heard a really good sounding pressing of this one yet but don't think I'm about to pay $150 to find out haha.

Good read. The original mofi sounds like a wet blanket has been thrown over the entire proceedings and this explains why. Sounds like the masters may, or may not, still be decent.

Initial reads I am seeing from the galley... are $150? "pass"
Myself, I would prefer to be in the murder dungeon than buy a Steely Dan record.
I do appreciate the music history and the stories on tapes are always intriguing.

I'm a Steely Fan and don't see myself dropping $150 on this. The $90 upcharge on getting a box and the clarity vinyl vs a regular AP 45 is insanity.

Yes, in that long video with Chad, he said they were repressing this under QRP's name.Various Artists-The Wonderful Sounds Of Quality Record Pressings-180 Gram Vinyl Record|Acoustic Sounds

Yeah, I'd love a standard $40 AP remastered version of this. I suppose they won't be undercutting themselves on the $150 version, though. Maybe down the line?

fwiw, people have said this does sound absolutely incredible. it's not for me, but don't doubt it sounds great and would make a good demo disc.

I get that but doesn't everyone have really good music to demo their system?
I suppose there is a consumer for this but it's not me by a longshot.

I have this Thorens collection. Showbiz Kids (opening track by RLJ) is the best sounding song I own. The whole thing sounds fantastic, but that track. Sheesh.Various Artists-The Wonderful Sounds Of Quality Record Pressings-180 Gram Vinyl Record|Acoustic Sounds

This one isn't entirely for me either, but I also know lots of people hate comps on vinyl and i have quite a lot that i enjoy throwing on when I'm not sure what to listen to. Not enough songs on here for me for the price but definitely some great sounding tracks on there and a bit of a mix of genres/styles.

I’m exactly the consumer. I don’t want a full album of any of this music except some of the jazz, but I spin it when I want to sprinkle in some variety. It’s great for that.

I think that version crushes Steely Dan's original. So good.

Not important, but is that really the cover art for the QRP reissue? How about a photo of anything? A lathe? Chad laughing hysterically watching the Mike@IG video “interview” with the Mofi guys?

Me too, I just got my new killer T shirt in the mail.
For those not into Hardcore, this shirt references some classic Raymond Pettibon album art…

Think a bunch of other Prestige APs have been restocked. I know some of these were already in stock, but back 23 titles are now in stock.
