You forgot to mention that it is also available on vinyl, which is surely the best way to listen to ANY Steely Dan.

New Steely Dan; Great Music w/ Surgical Precision
Oz, and everyone else out there, while speaking personally with Warner Brothers DISTRIBUTING SERVICE MANAGER, I was told exactly this; "Steely Dan has not authorized any vinyl release in the US, but I will give you the phone # for our European affiliate". I called this number, it was EMG. The vinyl release number is: #9362-48435-1 "European release only". If you search the web you will find numerous importers of vinyl. Now, the cost: 28.00 USD shipping alone, from Germany. Album cost: $21.00 USD. That's the best I can do. If someone else can find a resource that is less expensive, please let us all know.

Ever since "Aja", I've had a love/hate feeling about Steely Dan. Great musicians, excellent production, killer grooves, great rhythms, interesting lyrics (usually), incredible solos -- everything I love in music. But then they throw one of their sappy light jazz-pop choruses into almost every song, and it ruins the whole damn thing. Does anyone agree? JD |
