r/SteelyDan

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.

And the 2026 Steely Dan fighters tournament champion is... Godwhacker!

The sidewalks weren't safe for Johnny after Godwhacker got some whacking space, and he was defeated with 118 votes to 15. He earns the silver medal, completing the podium

I added the scores of each round into the final table as you see here. Some of the sending wasn't very fair I admit, Godwhacker in particular cruised to the win. See you next time

contrary to the current record Can't Buy A Thrill was issued in September 197..NOT November 1972......even those $150 dollar versions got that wrong...

Only two songs on Gaucho for some reason. I wonder why they did that.

Gaucho is dropped near the freeway after Hoops claimed his final victory with 55 votes to 12, he claims the bronze medal. Now it's time for the ultimate matchup between Godwhacker and Johnny the Third world man to decide the overall winner

Final: who would win? Godwhacker or the Third World Man

Venue: Gary Katz's basement

It's May 19th, I got this copy of Aja for "free" when I traded some books in at a local used book store (thanks John at Books & Melodies!) and my copy of Cross Dressing by Bill Fitzhugh (thanks u/FungiTx for the suggestion!) arrived in the mail. I'm enjoying it so far!

*Checking his identical twin brother--a priest--into the hospital under his own name for the insurance coverage, unscrupulous salesman Dan Steele assumes his brother's identity as part of an escape plan and finds himself in the unexpectedly dangerous world of organized religion.*

Two of my fav Dan tees I’ve come across. ‘93 is a parking lot boot and 2 against nature is licensed merch. They’re no spangled leather poncho but still pretty cool
