  • Great Sound, Minor Track Issues

    5 out of 5 stars
    fzoqmuqrovidootDecember 18, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The audio quality is fantastic, with a strong and clear sound that's not overly compressed. I really like the packaging too, especially the tray that keeps the disc safe. My only small issues are that there's no numbered track list, which makes it a bit tricky to program, and the bonus 12" versions aren't in the order they originally appeared on the album. For instance, I like to swap out the original tracks for their 12" versions.

  • Vinyl-Quality Cut with Extras

    5 out of 5 stars
    ejn8774November 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Top-notch cut. Just like the vinyl version but with extra treats (full insert featuring an interview + a second disc with 12-inch mixes). It sounds fantastic!

  • Vinyl Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    pcugmtoihktubkAugust 18, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Awesome pressing, I snagged a decent copy off Ebay. The vinyl is on the thin side and feels a bit flimsy, but the sound quality is phenomenal. I'm really digging this album and her unique style. Considering it's a 43 year old copy, it plays remarkably well with no skips or loud surface noise to speak of.

  • Fantastic Clear Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    obem2763July 31, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing sounds fantastic, it's clear and has no hiss whatsoever. I'm thrilled with my purchase.

  • Vinyl Quality: Highs and Lows

    5 out of 5 stars
    Doav_Zosa_TuttApril 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This vinyl record is absolutely amazing. The way the highs and lows are balanced is just perfect, really highlighting the excellent quality of the recording. It's almost completely noise-free and has a strong, solid sound. Listening to this vinyl is incredibly soothing. Plus, I'm pretty confident that this album was recorded on analog tape. I mean, Donald Fagen's The Nightfly was released in 1982. Back then, digital recording wasn't all that common, so it's hard to picture this being a digital master. Just a heads up, though, they really cut corners on the later pressings of this vinyl, skipping the shrink wrap and booklet. Because of that, the cases are often a bit dusty, and the overall quality isn't that great. That's the only thing to be cautious about.
