Date undefinedEarly Steely Dan rocker that sold on a solid delivery and tight harmonics. Very popular and a good listen time and again.

Date undefinedThis is the 2nd SHM-CD version of Steely Dan I bought. I am comparing this to the recent 1999 remastered editions.
The SHM-CD's are issued by Universal Music, it says in the liner notes that these are the 1999 remasterd editions by Roger Nichols. but Theses SHM-CD's sound alot brighter and a little cleaner due to the material. Incomparing the Aja CD, I own the MFSL Gold editon and the SHM-CD, the MFSL sounds alot warmer, but they both have to be turned up alot to hear it. This seems to be the case with alot of 1970's CD's that have been remastered the levels are still a bit low.
Do yourself a favor and buy these editons (SHM-CD) of AJA and Katy Lied. I know the rest of there tittles are availble as well (Japan Only)I've seen them on e-bay as a box set for 200.00 +, but I have seen AJA, Katy Lied and Gaucho by them selves for about 28.00 EA...

Date undefinedKaty Lied exemplifies the Steely Dan mantra- acerbic (Black Friday), maybe even creepy (Everyone's Gone To The Movies) lyrics that confound even the staunchest Dan fan (Rose Darling) combined with lush (Bad Sneakers), beautiful (Doctor Wu), thoughtful (Your Gold Teeth II) music. This makes Steely Dan an acquired taste, but it's this dichotomy that makes Becker and Fagen the underrated geniuses they are.
Although neither Walter nor Donald liked the sound of the album, this ranks as perhaps their best album.
