+1 Looking forward to the rest.

Looking forward to The Royal Scam. It's the hole in my multi-format collection of the SD catalog.
Edit: Just ordered the 33.3rpm Universal/Geffen version of Can't Buy A Thrill from Amazon. Music Direct was out of stock and curiously, Acoustic Sounds is not offering this version on their webstore.

I wonder if AS is holding back on the 33s until the 45s are sold out? The 33s are unlimited in number, correct? Through odd coincidence, I just found my original Royal Scam and Aja vinyl from the 70s. They sound great! (at least compared to CD)

Have you found a way to pre-order "The Royal Scam"? Was able to do so for CBAT, but have not seen anything on TRC.

I preordered all of them last September when Acoustic Sounds made the release announcement. So they did at one point.

A couple of years ago I was able to get most of the entire SD catalog on those Universal Japan Super High Material Single Layer SACD's and those are excellently done. They were supposed to release TRS on that format but the release was suddenly cancelled without any explanation as to why. I heard rumors that SD was rather miffed about that too.

Agreed on the 45 issue too. At least with respect to Steely Dan, the money is irrelevant to me. The whole set can be had for less than I would have spent on one of their concerts that I've missed during covid. (and I probably would have attended 4 or more) But at some point, enough is enough--Am I going to buy 50 or 60 of my favorite albums @$150? Do I really need to flip the disc every 8 minutes every time I listen to one of my faves? Can't I just be grateful for very highly reviewed 33 played on a great system? After all, as I presume is the case with you, when I play good vinyl at home today, I am getting an experience light years beyond what I had in my youth or what 99% of other listeners have now. My hope with purchasing the CBT 33 is that I'll decide to stop with the 45s (sorry if this is a rant--a complex emotional topic, haha)

The 33 arrived a few hours ago--it took a full 30 seconds or so (just the intro to Do It Again) to understand that although the 33 is great, the 45 is essentially a different medium. The most obvious difference is fuller sound, almost 3D in its effect compared to the 33. The music pressurizes the room--switching back and forth between the versions is similar to flipping the subwoofer on and off--you feel the difference even when they sound the same. This carries to guitars, drums, congas and other instruments--the 45 captures the texture of each. Freddie, thanks for your help. I don't think typical age-related hearing loss will be a problem here. For those who love the Dan and have a system and budget that allows, the 45s are great!
