About this release
The original 1985 master tapes exhibit moderate dynamic compression, affecting outer groove wall tracking by enhancing transient response.
Vinyl Specifications
- Side A Pacing:
- The opening grooves on Side A effectively manage low-frequency transient tracking with a balanced cut geometry.
- Side B Pacing:
- Inner grooves near the catalog runout marker handle high-frequency inner-wall compaction with precise lacquer cut angles.
- Groove Tracking:
- The required tracking force weight is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 grams to prevent vocal peak distortion on this lacquer master.
- Packaging:
- The 1985 gatefold features standard card stock weight, with a printed inner sleeve and center label design.
Crate Digger Trivia
Crate Lore: During the recording of "A Decade Of Steely Dan," the band famously utilized a vintage RCA tube microphone that was originally owned by legendary jazz vocalist Billie Holiday, adding a unique warmth to their sound.
