3 Pressing Wars Settled: Steely Dan UHQR, Flying Burrito Brothers & Turning Point — AI Decides!

The AI doesn't lie — but its verdicts surprised even me on all three of these. I ran three iconic vinyl pressings through reference HiFi AI analysis: 🎵 Steely Dan – Countdown to Ecstasy 🎵 Flying Burrito Brothers – VinylPhyle vs. Intervention Records 🎵 Turning Point – Silent Promise Original Gull UK vs. AOR Reissue Original vs. reissue. Three long-standing collector debates. The AI picked a winner on every one. Were the results obvious? Absolutely not.
