Yeah, cool link nooms. I played that Aja album to death when it first came out. Skub the younger owned all the SD records. Time was,you knew you had it made when you guested on a Becker/Fagan song.
Not just a great song, but gave the the name to another band. Ricky Ross and team weren't half bad.

Very cool find nooms. I remember seeing a documentary about Steely Dan a while back on BBC4 I think - I don't remember the name, but it was a real eye opener seeing just how fixated they were on every detail. And the records... damn!

Thanks for posting that link Nooms. A great find for anyone, and for a die hard Steely Dan fan, just the bees knees.

Hi nooms I watched this a while ago and thought it was great. The detail those guys went to and the professionalism of the songwriting and playing is fantastic.
Excellent!
Cheers
