Title: A Royal Scam
Product review: These demos were released without Donald Fagen and Walter Becker's approval and against their wishes. "Old Regime", "Sun Mountain", "Android Warehouse", "Catalyst", "The Founders of Steely Dan", "Becker and Fagen (or Fagen and Becker) Presents" and the dozens of other titles this same collection of demos are constantly repackaged under are in their most primitive forms. Do you really think Steely Dan, a band known for their sonic perfection, would want this revealed to the public? If you're a Dan completist and care to hear the earliest demo versions of a few SD classics Barrytown (Pretzel Logic) Caves of Altamira (The Royal Scam), and Brooklyn (Can't Buy A Thrill) try and borrow a copy rather than buy it. I wouldn't give the cretin who released this a penny.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
