STEELY DAN – Record Plant & St. Louis 1974 (2CD)

Record Plant 1974 Studio Quality 9.6 – Great way to listen to the artistry of Steely Dan – a great band live and in the studio.

St. Louis 1974 Soundboard 8.7 – A little on the slightly muffled side but being a board tape you do hear everything. It will sound much worse than it is if you listen to disc one first (normal operating procedure) but I have to say this recording is still worth having for fans of Steely Dan as they did not tour much and so there’s only so much from 1974.
