Donald Fagen: The Nightfly



MoFi 1/2 Speed Mastered LP

My wife was complaining that since I got the streamer set up I spend too much time in the chair and need to exercise more.

So I compromised and told her I would play LPs today so I needed to walk over to the turntable every 20 minutes.

If you are thinking "Yah, that will never work", you're right.   :roll:

Very interesting album. Being a longtime Steely Dan fan, I've heard of this album, but I've never actually listened to it in it's entirety! I've only heard I.G.Y. and none of the other tracks. I'm more interested now after learning how long it took to record it (8 months!)  and the many trials and tribulations the musicians went through - magnets, dead rats, and writer's block! Read the story on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightfly

Also interested in what the final sound on MoFi ended up. From what I've read, this was one of the first fully digital recordings.
