GOLD ( EXPANDED EDITION)

This was a reissue on an earlier compilation released in 1983 also titled Gold to agree with the new CD medium. It has an excellent assortment of songs like Green Earrings, Black Cow from Aja, the exquisite Here At The Western World off Royal Scam. The highlights on this package though are the two songs included from Donald Fagen's first solo album Nightfly. These are Century's End and True Companion. Also there is a classic live version of Bodhisattva from Santa Monica, I think, where the speaker introducing the band sounds totally wasted! It is very funny and no doubt apart from an excellent live version of the song, a humorous reason for Fagen and Becker to include it on the reissue.

After the copyright had moved to MCA, having been announced as the first best album in 1991 was this album as CD though LP of the best 2 piece sets that had been announced from ABC in 1978 existed before. If the characteristic of the best album is considered, the composition of the tune collected to this album might be a little special selection. The tune offered to the tune and the movie that is unpublished in this album is collected though each representative's tune exists when thinking about the history of their music. The fan that this catches as not the simple best but one album might exist, too. They leap from the band of course as a combination of Fagen/Becker in around 1976 and an active fact is known well. If it is a real fan of Steely Dan, it will be able to enjoy composing if the tune of the name of Fagen and inquiring into the history of their music overall.
