Steely Dan's "Two Against Nature" on vinyl?

I have an import copy of this on vinyl. It's a wonderful sounding recording. Very nicely done. Not sure if it is still available. Try the following link:

Yes it appeared very briefly on vinyl when it was first released, pressed in "Europe".. doesn't state which country... my pressing is noisy and while the sound is good the vinyl itself isn't that hot. This title could use a high-fi re-do by the likes of classic records.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone did a remastered half-speed full box set pressed on high quality vinyl of all the Steely Dan recordings.

I've tried to get this vinyl as well and gave up when I heard that this was actually not mastered with Steely Dan's consent and is an inferior master from the cd.
Morph the Cat (Fagen) and Everything Must Go are great in vinyl.

TWO AGAINST NATURE ON VINYL?
Below is WB's text written for a recent newsletter

There have been questions now and again about the prospect of vinyl pressings of the "Two Against Nature" album. We have not mastered such a disc as of this time and so anything that you see out there along these lines is an unauthorized version. Such a pressing would incorporate all the limitations of digital audio (frequency response limit, converter artifacts, etc.) plus all the limitations of vinyl (phase shift, limited frequency response, noise, distortion, etc.). Also, such a pressing would also not have been done by us and so the aesthetic compromises made to master the album to vinyl would represent someone else's taste and judgement (or the lack thereof) and so I suggest you give this one a miss.

However, at the time the album was mixed, a set of high quality analog master mixes was made along with the digital ones, and, knowing that some people still prefer the vinyl format, we are exploring the idea of using these tapes to make a vinyl pressing at some time in the future. We'll keep you posted on this possibility as time goes on.

Just what we need, more mediocre reissues from Classic. I can hardly wait.

Thanks so much for the information. I'm glad that I never found one of the fake ones, and I look forward to one day getting the real McCoy from the boys themselves. I know that WB and DF are not Two Against Vinyl!
