That said it's the last of them, won't be any more, so needs to be venerated as the holy icon that it is.

No, vinyl prices started at £75 new. Used was even more. I got it on CD for a fiver, no brainer really.

I still need to get "Pretzel Logic" and their penultimate album (can't remember the name) to complete the set. I suppose I ought to get "Steely Dan Gold" or something too, so I can have "FM". It's a dear do, trying and failing to avoid a completist spiral :doh:

ive got aja, pretzel logic and gaucho, plus the definative collection all on cd. dunno how many more there are tho.

This Greatest Hits album also gives you 'FM' and 'Here At The Western World', which are both essential. Used to be cheap on s/h vinyl, I don't know if it still is. I've got two of them on vinyl so you can have one next time I see you, although CD is better obvs

Penultimate album is 'Two Against Nature'

I have all their albums on vinyl, plus Donald’s solo stuff, the big decision is do I start splashing out on the new audiophile releases but they are around £200 each.

No, total rip-off! The best versions are the original CD releases - the remasters they did around the turn of the century are acceptable but not quite as good.

Got all but the last two albums on vinyl and got all of them on CD as well. Plus the DVD-A of 'Gaucho'. ( seems to be expensive now https://www.amazon.com/Gaucho-DVD-Au.../dp/B0001JXQDI)

I would stick with your original pressings, they will have been made when the master tapes were still fresh.

God alone knows what the £200 'audiophile' releases were made from No doubt from digital copies of the masters, but how old and degraded were the master tapes when those copies were made? I think the Dan original master tapes were lost in the fire at Universal some years ago.
