Description

Steely Dan ‎– Gaucho LP 1987 Better Records Hot Stamper A++A++ Audiophile Sound
This is a one of a kind LP The folks at Better Records listen to hundreds of copies to find the one great pressing (Stamper) You will never hear a recording sound so good.

  • With two solid Double Plus (A++) sides, this vintage pressing is guaranteed to blow the doors off any other Gaucho you've heard - exceptionally quiet vinyl too
  • Enjoy three-dimensional ambience, tubey richness, you-are-there immediacy, tight bass, clear guitar transients, silky highs, and truckloads of analog magic on every track
  • It is 100% guaranteed to beat any pressing of Gaucho you have ever played, and by a wide margin
  • It will also show you just how badly Ron McMaster butchered the mastering of the Heavy Vinyl LP he cut
  • 4 stars in the AMG, 4 1/2 in Rolling Stone, and one of this exceptionally well-recorded band's three best sounding albums - a true Must Own
  • "Despite its coolness, the music is quite beautiful. With its crystalline keyboard textures and diaphanous group vocals, ''Gaucho'' contains the sweetest music Steely Dan has ever made." New York Times
  • The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space
  • The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing. CDs give you clean and clear. Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes even as late as 1980
  • Tight, note-like, rich, full-bodied bass, with the correct amount of weight down low
  • Natural tonality in the midrange -- with all the instruments (and effects!) having the correct timbre
  • Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional studio space
