Customer Reviews Wouldve Been A Five The sound is raw, and I like hearing "pre-production" versions of some of my favorrite songs , like "Any World", "The Caves of Altimara" called android warehouse on this one, "Parkers Band", and "Charlie Freak". Im a huge Steely Dan fan, and I thought this collection was great. "Charlie Freak" in particular benefits from the lack of instrumentation, performed with just a piano, is a much more powerful song. Also the CD is worth it just for "Yellow Peril", and "Sun Mountain", both of which I regret didnt make it onto a major album. I strongly reccomend this CD. Recorded in a Garage With free standing mics I consider myself a BIG Steely Dan, Fagen, Becker fan. . and unless you like to spend money just to be able to say that you have everything ever published by SD, you won't want to spend money on this CD. Sounds recorded in a garage, live, bad piano, some drinking and VERY dated. . . say 35 years ago. I miss the deep musicality of Aja, Nightfly, Whack and even Against Nature. different but the same this is agood cd,seems like demo recordings,my version also called come back baby has 21 tunes all but 2 from this cds listing and more,overall good recordings,a few are just piano and vocals an essential recording for huge fans,new fans should try pretzel logic or,the newer two against nature,then get this if you like them. .
