Waking from an odd dream involving Walter Becker discussing (perhaps not real) militantly intense vegan dietary passions I had an earworm for my 2nd favorite Steely Dan album, Katy Lied. Since I have this wonderful UHQR edition, figured I'd give it a spin over the WLP original.

The photo shows a UHQR Analogue Productions deluxe vinyl box set for Miles Davis's album Kind of Blue. The front features a gold-bordered image of the iconic album cover, which shows Miles Davis playing the trumpet in a dark, moody setting. The box sits on a wooden surface next to a few decorative ceramic items and a green glass lamp or sculpture, with a rustic brick wall in the background.

Refresher listen to my favorite Steely Dan album, The Royal Scam. This is a very hard to find white label promo. Diving into the UHQR edition soon...

And 3+ years later, the full set of UHQR Steely Dan remasters is complete.

John Coltrane's "Ballads" album, is a lyrical journey through jazz's heart, showcasing Trane’s tender, melodic side. Each note resonates with emotional depth and timeless beauty. This UHQR is the BEST I’ve ever heard sonically of this album.

#NowSpinning #KindOfBlue by #MilesDavis. One of the great albums of all time (obviously) & the perfect soundtrack as I #write.

Another evening, #writing another chapter, while listening to this, the #UHQR of #Elephant.

This is the best sounding version of Elephant - and likely the best sounding record in my collection.
