The holy grail of Steely Dan research: first mention of the group ever

May 20, 1972 Cashbox....Becker and Fagen were horrified that their music was described as "country-rock"...and asked ABC Records to cancel distribution of the record...it was later reissued by Anchor Records in the UK in 1977. The track was recorded in early 1972 before Denny Dias and David Palmer were added to the group. Steely Dan's original contract called for 8 albums (one could be a compilation) and expired in March 1977 ....ABC Records was continually being sued by their artists for royalty mismanagement and other irregularities and was bought out by MCA before the decade closed.
