Steely Dan - The Lost Gaucho - The 1980 Rarities - Import CD

Credits:

Steely Dan

Description:

Includes 7 previously unreleased songs! The album "Gaucho" was released in 1980, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the album "Gaucho" was released after an extraordinary difficult production (production period/expenses) aiming at a higher level of perfection than the masterpiece "Eyja" in 1977, but after its release, it drove Fagen & Becker to a hiatus. Studio session recordings. The highlight of the album is the seven previously unreleased tracks. Of these, (2) "Were You Blind That Day" was re-titled "The Third Man" and included in "Gaucho," so there are six tracks that have never been released. All of them are Steely Dan's classic "mid-tempo soul and jazz touch A-melody, and the chord development of B-melody is so skillful and agonizing" type of songs that it would be a shame to keep them in storage! I guess they might have rejected them because of the overlap of the same type of songs... (That's the only thing I can think of...) (That's the only thing I can think of!). The outtakes of the songs in "Gaucho" are (6), (8), (9), (10), (11), (14) (only (9) is an instrumental without singing). The basis of the arrangement does not differ greatly from the finished version, but some of the keys, guitars, etc. were not dubbed before.By listening to this work, you will be more reminded of the kettle-dazzling perfection of the finished version of "Gaucho"!
