Visual pop music by Steely Dan

Steely Dan: Rings of Rare Design (a tuneboy comp)

Vocal pop music is not the main thing at this forum, I know, but please hear me out:
I've been working on a "best of Steely Dan" comp for a long time, so I thought it might
be interesting to some of you. My aim was to find the best possible analogue
sources. So here are 29 tracks from Japanese LP-pressings, American original 45s
and some Europeans, all presented in my favourite sequence from my own rips.
I don't know any other pop group that could conjure up so many visual and filmatic
pop songs as Steely Dan. It's also a thing to remember that their first album was an OST.

I think what Steely Dan's music has in common with library music is "the brief" to work
within a specified framework and be open to and develop all new ideas at the same time.

I had an idea of making a "best of" that used more rarities and demos as well as mainstream releases. I look forward to checking this out.

The sound quality was my drive for this. I have not yet seen or heard a good quality "best of".

Thanks tuneboy. 
I am a huge SD fan and have gone down the rabbit hole of finding the best masterings, although in my case mainly with Japanese vs. US early CD pressings, and collecting original US vinyl.

It's supposed to look like a moderately successful bootleg cover. ;)
