Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jackets with film lamination by Stoughton Printing Steely Dan’s platinum-selling debut studio album Can’t Buy A Thrill, released in November 1972, was a commercial success, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard chart. It later appeared on many professional listings of the greatest albums, including Colin Larkin’s All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000) and Rolling Stone magazine’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” (2003) The album was written by band members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, recorded in August 1972 at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, and produced by Gary Katz. Its music features tight song structure and sounds from soft rock, folk rock, and pop, alongside philosophical, elliptical lyrics. Two songs recorded during the Can’t Buy A Thrill sessions were left off the album and released as a single: “Dallas” b/w “Sail the Waterway.” This is the only Steely Dan album to include David Palmer as a lead vocalist, having been recruited after Donald Fagen expressed concerns over singing live. Drummer Jim Hodder also chips in lead vocals on one song, “Midnite Cruiser” (sometimes spelled “Midnight Cruiser”), as well as singing the “Dallas” single. By the time recording of the next album began, the band and producer Gary Katz had convinced Fagen to assume the full lead vocalist role. AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars, with reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine praising the core duo Walter Becker and Donald Fagen as “remarkable craftsmen.” Erlewine noted that “there are very few of the jazz flourishes that came to distinguish their (later) albums”, but added that the first single from the album, “Do It Again,” incorporates a tight Latin jazz beat, while the second single, “Reelin’ In the Years,” features jazzy guitar solos and harmonies. Rolling Stone, in its review, said the debut album was a collection of some of the group’s best jazz/rock songs. “Two of Fagen’s four (vocal solo) songs were the singles, ‘Do It Again’ and ‘Reelin’ In The Years,’ the later starting off (and continues throughout) with a ripping solo by session player, Elliot Randall, and in fact, was rated by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page as his favourite guitar solo of all time. That’s quite an endorsement. The song peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Charts. ‘Do It Again’ charted at No. 6, making it their second highest chart for a single. ‘Dirty Work,’ another great song from the record features Palmer. The album is tight, with some of the best musicianship money can buy.” — Rolling Stone The album cover features a photomontage by Robert Lockart that includes an image of a line of prostitutes, standing in a red-light area from Rouen in France waiting for clients. The image was chosen because of its relevance to the album title. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen themselves commented on the album art in their liner notes to the reissued The Royal Scam, saying that The Royal Scam album possessed “the most hideous album cover of the seventies, bar none (excepting perhaps Can’t Buy A Thrill).” The cover was banned in Francisco Franco’s Spain and was replaced with a photograph of the band playing in concert. After a brief battle with esophageal cancer, Walter Becker died on September 3, 2017 at the age of 67. Steely Dan has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2001. VH1 ranked Steely Dan at No. 82 on their list of the 100 Greatest Musical Artists of All Time. Rolling Stone ranked them No. 15 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. This stereo UHQR reissue will be limited to 20,000 copies, with gold foil individually numbered jackets, housed in a premium slipcase with a wooden dowel spine.
