Description:
1976's 5th is now available on HYBRID STEREO SACD! Direct DSD mastered from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman, HYBRID SACD specification, playable on all CD/SACD players Steely Dan's gold-selling fifth studio album, The Royal Scam, produced by Gary Katz and released by ABC Records in 1976. The guitar work on this album is more prominent than on Steely Dan's previous album, "Katy Ride," which was the first album without founding guitarist Jeff Baxter. The guitarists include Walter Becker, Denny Diaz, Larry Carlton, Elliott Randall, and Dean Parks, among others. The album was certified as a gold seller and reached #15 on the Billboard 200. Like all Steely Dan albums, it is littered with cryptic allusions to real people and fictional events.In a 2000 BBC interview, Becker and Feigen revealed that "Kid Charlemagne" is loosely based on OWSLEY STANLEY, the notorious drug "chef" famous for manufacturing hallucinogenic compounds, and "Caves of Altamira" is based on HANS BAUMANN and "Caves of Altamira" is based on the book by HANS BAUMANN, who reveals that it is a story about visitors to the ALTAMIRA CAVE who record their amazement at a prehistoric painting about the loss of innocence. The album cover is apparently of a man in a suit sleeping on a radiator, dreaming of a hybrid of skyscraper and beast. The cover, created from a painting by Zox and a photograph by Charlie Ganse, was originally intended for Van Morrison's unreleased 1975 album MECHANICAL BLISS, the concept of which was a satire of the American dream. 1999 remastered edition of the In the liner notes, Fagen and Becker claim that it is "the ugliest album cover of the '70s (except for CAN'T BUY A THRILL).
