Fifth studio album from Donald Fagen, Walter Becker et. al., produced by Gary Katz.

Steely Dan can be a bit divisive, and gets dismissed sometimes as “Dad rock” but I really appreciate the songwriting and musicianship of all these records. The Royal Scam includes “Kid Charlemagne” and “Haitian Divorce.”

My copy —via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is a Santa Maria pressing with the multicolored ABC labels.
