Steely Dan : Can't Buy a Thrill LP

Finally: the classic Steely Dan catalog is back on vinyl.

Led by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan released seven albums between 1972 and 1980. These albums were exceptionally popular, filled with top-notch musical skill, clever wordplay, ingenious arrangements, and pop hits that transcended the top 40 charts of their time—or any other time, for that matter.

Steely Dan's vinyl reissue series kicks off with the band's debut LP, Can't Buy A Thrill, which is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. The album features the band's breakthrough hits "Do It Again," "Reelin' in the Years," and the recently viral "Dirty Work." The album was followed by annual releases Countdown to Ecstasy ("Show Biz Kids," "My Old School"); Pretzel Logic ("Rikki Don't Lose That Number"); Katy Lied ("Bad Sneakers," "Everyone's Gone to the Movies"); The Royal Scam ("Kid Charlemagne," "The Fez"); and their masterpiece Aja, which included the songs "Black Cow," "Deacon Blues," "Peg," and the title track. After a three-year hiatus, the band ended their MCA years with the brilliant Gauchon ("Hey Nineteen," "Time Out Of Mind").
