( Take note: Jeff Skunk Baxter is doin the Congas here )... _______________________________________ OCTOBER 1972 (42 YEARS AGO) Steely Dan: Cant Buy a Thrill is released. Cant Buy a Thrill is the first album by Steely Dan, released in October 1972. It reached #17 on the Billboard 200 Top LPs chart, and features the single Do It Again, which reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2003, the album was ranked number 238 on Rolling Stone magazines list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. This is the album that introduced Donald Fagen and Walter Beckers unique, idiosyncratic, and highly polished craftsmanship. Although Cant Buy a Thrill lacks the overtly jazzy tendencies that would define albums like Aja, it distinguishes itself from nearly all of the mainstream pop and rock of the era with its smooth, lounge-y feel, catchy hooks, and immaculate studio polish. They were played alongside the Doobie Brothers and the Eagles on 70s FM radio, but Steely Dans sound was more self-conscious and sophisticated than its peers: this was postmodern R&B, dressed up in a tuxedo, and holding an advanced degree. The albums hit single Do It Again is textbook Dan, with its slinky, Latin-touched groove, expansive, minor key melody, and shimmering veneer. Fagens quirky vocals grace the track, and the records other hit, the chugging Reeling In the Years, with its memorable looping guitar riff. The album was originally released in two-channel Stereo and also in a special four-channel Quadrophonic mix. There are some significant musical differences between the two mixes, such as extra lead guitar fills in the Quad mix of Reelin in the Years. ___________________________ https://youtube/watch?v=NC7n4G5f1A4
