CD Reviews

Here's an alternative, you Dan fans

02/23/2000

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is one of those semilegal releases from overseas with demos recorded by Becker and Fagen before Steely Dan (when, among other things, they played with Jay and the Americans). Depending on your level of dedication and ethical position, you might alternatively consider "Android Warehouse," which contains these demos and more. But you really should love the boys before delving into this stuff - it's lacking the high production values of most of their work."

Skip it

"A collection of very rough demos never meant for public release. SD get no royalties from it, and have disowned this stuff. Would you want your worst work publicly displayed?"

Very rough but overall very good for the dedicated dan fan

"Although it is nowhere near the perfect sound quality Steely Dan is famous for having, it is a great cd to buy if you're into them. It gives you an idea of what they were like before they became famous with there famous one of a kind style. If you love them I recommend it but if you don't. . . . .I wouldn't waste my money."
