Fly By Night
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly [92.3696-1 DEU 1982 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] I have often wondered what the late Walter Becker ever thought about the left-hand immovable hype sticker on this 1982 original German pressing of Donald Fagen's Nightfly . In all essence, this is Steely Dan minus Becker but using the very same session musicians as The Steelies last album, Gaucho in 1980, plus of course Gary Katz on production duties. The other hype sticker proudly states The Nightfly was a digital recording, likely one of the very first mainstream releases to use 3M's 32-track digital recorders. Most of us likely didn't care at the time as to the album's provenance in 1982 as The Nightfly was possibly the coolest mainstream album to own at the time. This copy was a recent record store find, the vinyl is ridiculously close to mint, the sleeve isn't too bad but is showing its age. Early to mid-eighties Warner pressings from Germany were always good quality and this is no ex...
