Beside the point, Nrchy, but true. Sorry you couldn't think of one good one to mention, anyway....
I personally don't think the Steely Dan "greatests" fit the category I seek. While they are nice collections of superlative songs, I do not think that the sonics of the recordings on the "greatests" equals or surpasses the originals by any stretch. I do feel qualified on Steely Dan (at least in my own opinion) since they are one of my all-time favorites and I have heard nearly every pressing of every LP. Speaking of which, there is a Kamakiriad by Fagen at auction on the 'Gon right now! wink, wink
