Product Description

Amazon.com
As should be expected, Steely Dan's four-disc box set isn't like all the other rectangular pop-music retrospectives/tombstones. Not for Messrs. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen the typically bloated, ego-jacking crate padded out with childhood recordings, suspect cassette demos, and broken-down session takes, annotated by candid snapshots purloined from some distant relative. Nope, this is simply Dan Mach 1's complete oeuvre, from the craft-conscious pop of Can't Buy a Thrill to the jazzy torpor of Gaucho, laid out chronologically and neatly compressed into four discs, with not even a handful of "bonus" cuts (a live recording of "Bodhisattva," a '71 demo of "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" with Flo and Eddie on the side, "Here at the Western World," a Royal Scam outtake, and their obligatory soundtrack cameo, "FM") to color outside the lines. The liner notes are suitably smart, even if they occasionally strain trying to stay astride of B&F's patent sardonicism. For the aspiring Steely Dan completist, a fine place to start. --Jerry McCulley

Summary: Citizen by Steely Dan 2008-11-11
Comment: I am a big Steely Dan fan, so I think that the four disk set is fantastic and I got it for relatively nothing, which is even better. I no longer by my music in the store. I only shop at Amazon because the prices are so fair and the product is stellar.

Summary: With a Caveat........ 2008-05-05
Comment: For whatever reason, there are a lot of demos, etc. that are not included that ARE available on a variety of bootleg products that I don't think Becker and Fagen are overly happy about.
Becker and Fagen, even though they are perfectionists, should allow the demos, etc. to be released. I would think they would be happy to (like Frank Zappa did) "BEAT THE BOOTS" by releasing these rarities (if they still exist in some dark, dank MCA vault) and let them be paid for their efforts as well as reward the "loyal fandom".
In particular, I'd like to see the release of the two first (pre-Can't Buy a Thrill) single tracks ("Dallas"/"Sail The Waterway") that have only been released on the original PROBE single (1972) and a British "Plus 4" series LP in the late '70's.
Are we going to hear something special? Something we've never heard before elsewhere? Is that a 2" inch tape in their pocket or are they just happy to see us? Ahem......
C'mon guys.... ANTE UP!

Summary: Better late then never..... 2007-11-26
Comment: In the days that I was young en pretty I used to listen to Deep Purple, Rainbow, Queen. The more heavy kind of music so to speak.
Today I still feel young but have passed the 40 a few years ago. "New" music came into my life, such as Pink Martini, the bluesy side of Chris Rea and this more then splendid box of Steely Dan.
Unfortunately I have missed the guys at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands. But a friend of mine did not and he was blown away by their music. A colleague of mine has recommended me this box. My last words for this review are: BUY THIS BOX PEOPLE, IT'S "TOPPIE!"
