DONALD FAGEN The Nightfly Mobile Fidelity UD1S 2-003 (two 45rpm One-Step LPs) Before you click 'send' for any hate email to direct my way, two observations: 1) Mobile Fidelity learned a lesson from the Santana Abraxas sell-out, and this latest One-Step is a 6000-copy pressing; and 2) MoFi announced it online months before release. That said, this is as spectacular as one would hope of a $99 LP version of a release that was an audiophile hit some 35 years ago. Its audience was guaranteed, given the love our community (rightly) has for the jazz-inflected rock of Steely Dan. This was decidedly more noir in feel, like an episode of Peter Cunn, and full marks to the company for somehow making an early example of all-digital recording sound so truly analogue.
