"Steely Dan Hadn't Been A Real Working Band Since Pretzel Logic, But With Aja, Walter Becker And Donald Fagen's Obsession With Sonic Detail And Fascination With Composition Reached New Heights. A Coolly Textured And Immaculately Produced Collection Of Sophisticated Jazz-rock, Aja Has None Of The Overt Cynicism Or Self-consciously Challenging Music That Distinguished Previous Steely Dan Records. Instead, It's A Measured And Textured Album, Filled With Subtle Melodies And Accomplished, Jazzy Solos That Blend Easily Into The Lush Instrumental Backdrops. But Aja Isn't Just About Texture, Since Becker And Fagen's Songs Are Their Most Complex And Musically Rich Set Of Songs -- Even The Simplest Song, The Sunny Pop Of "Peg," Has Layers Of Jazzy Vocal Harmonies. In Fact, Steely Dan Ignores Rock On Aja, Preferring To Fuse Cool Jazz, Blues, And Pop Together In A Seamless, Seductive Fashion. It's Complex Music Delivered With Ease, And Although The Duo's Preoccupation With Clean Sound And Self-consciously Sophisticated Arrangements Would Eventually Lead To A Dead End, Aja Is A Shining Example Of Jazz-rock At Its Finest."

1974 Gatefold Reissue. "Walter Becker And Donald Fagen Were Remarkable Craftsmen From The Start, As Steely Dan's Debut, Can't Buy A Thrill, Illustrates. Each Song Is Tightly Constructed, With Interlocking Chords And Gracefully Interwoven Melodies, Buoyed By Clever, Cryptic Lyrics. All Of These Are Hallmarks Of Steely Dan's Signature Sound, But What Is Most Remarkable About The Record Is The Way It Differs From Their Later Albums. Of Course, One Of The Most Notable Differences Is The Presence Of Vocalist David Palmer, A Professional Blue-eyed Soul Vocalist Who Oversings The Handful Of Tracks Where He Takes The Lead. Palmer's Very Presence Signals The One Major Flaw With The Album -- In An Attempt To Appeal To A Wide Audience, Becker And Fagen Tempered Their Wildest Impulses With Mainstream Pop Techniques. Consequently, There Are Very Few Of The Jazz Flourishes That Came To Distinguish Their Albums -- The Breakthrough Single, "Do It Again," Does Work An Impressively Tight Latin Jazz Beat, And "Reelin' In The Years" Has Jazzy Guitar Solos And Harmonies -- And The Production Is Overly Polished, Conforming To All The Conventions Of Early-'70s Radio. Of Course, That Gives These Decidedly Twisted Songs A Subversive Edge, But Compositionally, These Aren't As Innovative As Their Later Work. Even So, The Best Moments ("Dirty Work," "Kings," "Midnight Cruiser," "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again") Are Wonderful Pop Songs That Subvert Traditional Conventions And More Than Foreshadow The Paths Steely Dan Would Later Take."

Can't Buy A Thrill
Audiophile - New - UHQR 0009-45
Sealed 2022 2LP, 45rpm, 200gm clarity vinyl remaster box set. 20,000 numbered copies directly mastered from the original master tape by Bernie Grundman. "Can't Buy a Thrill" is the debut studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released in November 1972. The album is notable for its blend of rock, jazz, and pop influences, showcasing the band's sophisticated musicianship and complex songwriting. It features the distinctive vocals of Donald Fagen, though some tracks are sung by David Palmer. The album includes well-known tracks such as "Do It Again" and "Reelin' In the Years," both of which became hit singles and helped establish Steely Dan's reputation for combining catchy melodies with intricate lyrical themes. The album's production is polished, with a lush sound that highlights the band's meticulous attention to detail.
The cover art of "Can't Buy a Thrill" is also noteworthy, featuring a colorful collage that reflects the eclectic nature of the music. The album received critical acclaim upon its release and has grown in stature over the years, often regarded as a classic of the 1970s rock era. It laid the foundation for Steely Dan's evolution into a band known for its studio perfectionism and genre-blurring compositions. The success of "Can't Buy a Thrill" was instrumental in securing the band's place in rock history, setting the stage for their subsequent albums that would further explore and refine their unique sound.

Of Course, That Gives These Decidedly Twisted Songs A Subversive Edge, But Compositionally, These Aren't As Innovative As Their Later Work. Even So, The Best Moments ("Dirty Work," "Kings," "Midnight Cruiser," "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again") Are Wonderful Pop Songs That Subvert Traditional Conventions And More Than Foreshadow The Paths Steely Dan Would Later Take." AMG Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine.

The Loud Guitars And Pronounced Backbeat Of "Bodhisattva," "Show Biz Kids," And "My Old School" Camouflage The Fact That Countdown Is A Riskier Album, Musically Speaking, Than Its Predecessor. Each Of Its Eight Songs Have Sophisticated, Jazz-Inflected Interludes, And Apart From The Bluesy Vamps "Bodhisattva" And "Show Biz Kids," Which Sound Like They Were Written For The Stage, The Songs Are Subtly Textured. "Razor Boy," With Its Murmuring Vibes, And The Hard Bop Tribute "Your Gold Teeth" Reveal Becker And Fagen's Jazz Roots, While The Country-Flavored "Pearl Of The Quarter" And The Ominous, Skittering "King Of The World" Are Both Overlooked Gems. Countdown To Ecstasy Is The Only Time Steely Dan Played It Relatively Straight, And Its Eight Songs Are Rich With Either Musical Or Lyrical Detail That Their Album Rock Or Art Rock Contemporaries Couldn't Hope To Match.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG.

The Band Members, Donald Fagen And Walter Becker, Had Previously Met At Bard College In New York And Had Formed Steely Dan In 1972. Their Debut Album, "Can't Buy A Thrill," Had Been A Commercial Success, And They Continued To Gain Popularity With "Countdown To Ecstasy."

Its Follow-up, Gaucho, While Sonically Similar, Is Its Polar Opposite: A Precise And Studied Record, Where All Of The Seams Show. Gaucho Essentially Replicates The Smooth Jazz-pop Of Aja, But With None Of That Record's Dark, Seductive Romance Or Elegant Aura. Instead, It's Meticulous And Exacting; Each Performance Has Been Rehearsed So Many Times That It No Longer Has Any Emotional Resonance. Furthermore, Walter Becker And Donald Fagen's Songs Are Generally Labored, Only Occasionally Reaching Their Past Heights, Like On The Suave "Babylon Sisters," "Time Out Of Mind," And "Hey Nineteen." Still, Those Three Songs Are Barely Enough To Make The Remainder Of The Album's Glossy, Meandering Fusion Worthwhile."

Used Import - 250 423-1
Harder To Find 1984 2LP Gatefold, European Reissue. Made In Germany. Laminated Jacket, Shows Some Light Edge Rubs & Tiny Scuff Marks. "This 1978 ABC Set Was Issued To Bide Time Between Aja And Gaucho. Despite The Generous 18 Tracks Covering The 1972-1977 Work, This Didn't Take On Mythical Proportions Due To The Fact That The Band's Separate Albums All Remained Strong And The Group's Better Moments Weren't Always The Biggest Hits. Despite The Cavils, Some Great Work Is Here. "Do It Again" And "Reelin' In The Years" Both Broadened What Listeners Expected From Singles As Donald Fagen's Ironic Vocals Were Instantly Singular And Made All Of The Lyrics Stick. By The Middle Of Greatest Hits, Tracks From Three Albums In Particular, Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied, And The Royal Scam, All Cohere Into An Imperfect Though Cogent Sampling Of Their Work. Tracks Like "Black Friday," "Pretzel Logic," And "Haitian Divorce" Are All Nervous Energy And Gallows Humor, All Assiduously Played In Their Patented Mix Of Rock, Jazz, And R&B. During Its Initial Release, The Draw For Greatest Hits Was One Unreleased Track. The Elegiac "Here In The Western World" From The Royal Scam Sessions Perfectly Summed Up Their 1973-1976 Sound. The Track Later Showed Up On Another Compilations. "Peg" And "Josie" From Aja Show Up Here As Well. What Makes Greatest Hits Less Than Essential Are The Glaring Omissions, Including "Don't Take Me Alive," "Chain Lightening," And "Deacon Blues." Having "Fm" Absent Doesn't Help Things Either. Unlike Many Compilations, Greatest Hits Isn't A Loving Look But At A Group's Recent Past, But More A Stopgap Measure To Put Product On Shelves." AMG Review By Jason Elias.

Katy Lied
Used Import - VIM-4041
1980 Japanese Repressing From The Original '75 Japanese Press. Includes Insert But Without Obi. Glossy Vinyl, Few Tiny Corner Rubs. "Building From The Jazz Fusion Foundation Of Pretzel Logic, Steely Dan Created An Alluringly Sophisticated Album Of Jazzy Pop With Katy Lied. With This Record, Walter Becker And Donald Fagen Began Relying Solely On Studio Musicians, Which Is Evident From The Immaculate Sound Of The Album. Usually, Such A Studied Recording Method Would Drain The Life Out Of Each Song, But That's Not The Case With Katy Lied, Which Actually Benefits From The Duo's Perfectionist Tendencies. Each Song Is Given A Glossy Sheen, One That Accentuates Not Only The Stronger Pop Hooks, But Also The Precise Technical Skill Of The Professional Musicians Drafted To Play The Solos. Essentially, Katy Lied Is A Smoother Version Of Pretzel Logic, Featuring The Same Cross-section Of Jazz-pop And Blues-rock. The Lack Of Innovations Doesn't Hurt The Record, Since The Songs Are Uniformly Brilliant. Less Overtly Cynical Than Previous Dan Albums, The Album Still Has Its Share Of Lyrical Stingers, But What's Really Notable Are The Melodies, From The Seductive Jazzy Soul Of "Doctor Wu" And The Lazy Blues Of "Chain Lightning" To The Terse "Black Friday" And Mock Calypso Of "Everyone's Gone To The Movies." It's Another Excellent Record In One Of The Most Distinguished Rock & Roll Catalogs Of The '70s." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine.

Used - LP - ABCD-808
1978 2nd Pressing Housed In A Gatefold Jacket. Features Jeff Porcaro, David Paich, Chuck Rainey, Victor Feldman, Ernie Watts & Wilton Felder.

Pretzel Logic
Used - LP - B0034986-01
2023 Gatefold Vinyl Reissue. "Countdown To Ecstasy Wasn't Half The Hit That Can't Buy A Thrill Was, And Steely Dan Responded By Trimming The Lengthy Instrumental Jams That Were Scattered Across Countdown And Concentrating On Concise Songs For Pretzel Logic. While The Shorter Songs Usually Indicate A Tendency Toward Pop Conventions, That's Not The Case With Pretzel Logic. Instead Of Relying On Easy Hooks, Walter Becker And Donald Fagen Assembled Their Most Complex And Cynical Set Of Songs To Date. Dense With Harmonics, Countermelodies, And Bop Phrasing, Pretzel Logic Is Vibrant With Unpredictable Musical Juxtapositions And Snide, But Very Funny, Wordplay. Listen To How The Album's Hit Single, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," Opens With A Syncopated Piano Line That Evolves Into A Graceful Pop Melody, Or How The Title Track Winds From A Blues To A Jazzy Chorus -- Becker And Fagen's Craft Has Become Seamless While Remaining Idiosyncratic And Thrillingly Accessible. Since The Songs Are Now Paramount, It Makes Sense That Pretzel Logic Is Less Of A Band-oriented Album Than Countdown To Ecstasy, Yet It Is The Richest Album In Their Catalog, One Where The Backhanded Dylan Tribute "Barrytown" Can Sit Comfortably Next To The Gorgeous "Any Major Dude Will Tell You." Steely Dan Made More Accomplished Albums Than Pretzel Logic, But They Never Made A Better One." AMG - Stephen Thomas Erlewine.

The Royal Scam
Used Import - VIM-4040
1980 Japanese Pressing With Insert, No Obi. "The Royal Scam" is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released in 1976. The album is noted for its darker tone and more cynical lyrics compared to the band's previous works. It features complex musical arrangements that blend rock, jazz, and R&B influences. Key tracks on the album include "Kid Charlemagne," "The Fez," and "Haitian Divorce," which showcase the band's intricate musicianship and sophisticated production. The album cover, designed by Larry Zox, depicts a man sleeping on a park bench with skyscrapers looming behind him, adding to the album's overall themes of disillusionment and societal critique.
"The Royal Scam" was produced by Gary Katz and features core members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who were known for their meticulous attention to detail and perfectionism in the studio. The album includes contributions from a variety of session musicians, such as guitarist Larry Carlton, drummer Bernard Purdie, and saxophonist Wayne Shorter. While initially not as commercially successful as some of Steely Dan's other albums, "The Royal Scam" has since gained recognition and praise for its sophisticated songwriting and production. It remains a significant work in the band's discography, appreciated for its thematic depth and musical complexity.

2022 Test pressing; 2LP 45pm Limited edition, audiophile remastered reissue for Analogue Productions. Housed in a generic white die-cut outer sleeve. Mastered by Scott Hull at Masterdisk & Pressed at QRP. "Notorious for shunning concert performances, Steely Dan's improbable live reunion in the mid-'90s eventually turned into a full-fledged reunion album. Since Steely Dan fans went two decades without even the hope of a new record, the very prospect was a delight, but it was also a little worrying, since a botched comeback would tarnish the band's legacy. Fortunately, Two Against Nature is as seductive and alluring as the best of Steely Dan's later work, with a similar emphasis on classy atmosphere and groove. Pitched halfway between Gaucho and the immaculate production of Fagen's solo album Kamakiriad, it's a graceful, intricate record that works its subtle charms at its own pace. While that means it isn't a knockout on the first listen, it's a real grower -- a quietly addicting album that slowly works its way into the subconscious. It's also an uncannily natural extension of the duo's previous work, but surprisingly, it never sounds nostalgic or dated. It's clear that Becker and Fagen re-teamed because they simply enjoy working together: crafting the songs and arrangements, designing the production, shoehorning in-jokes into the lyrics, finding the exact performances that fit their specifications. In this sense, Two Against Nature is no different than any past Steely Dan effort; that's exactly why it's welcome, since they find nearly endless permutations within their signature sound. Lyrically, the album isn't quite as malicious as their '70s work, but they haven't lost their sharp humor, even on some mere throwaway lines. The real payoff, however, is musical. Each song gradually reveals its own identity through small, thrilling touches, giving the record depth and character, and fitting it comfortably into Steely Dan's acclaimed body of work. And that's as delightfully unexpected and peculiarly beautiful as anything else in their career." All Music Guide - Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
