Steely Dan before they were Steely Dan! As struggling musicians living in Brooklyn during the late sixties, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were hard at work peddling their music to publishers and producers of the legendary Brill Building. Having housed prolific hit machines such as Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and Carole King, it was here that the duo compiled a number of demos, compositions and early versions of future Steely Dan classics. The collection of original recordings recorded between 1968-71 provide exciting insight to Becker & Fagen's creative process, the sound of their early years and the soul behind this beloved writing partnership. On LTD edition 180g sun yellow vinyl.
