Not gonna lie, this could be my favorite Becker Track yet

Oh wow that is a surprise. Hope it won't stay uncirculated like Sacagawea

@hourstuff sorry misread that earlier, I thought it had been D, Mod asking and still hadn't had my coffee.

@hourstuff Theres a few versions on the gaucho outtakes, ones more a simple piano demo while the other is a more complete rehearsal with much of the band. http://bbchron.blogspot.com/2015/07/steely-dan-lost-gaucho-and-outtakes.html Another interesting one on there is Talkin Bout my home, which while a demo seems to be a more Jazz Fused envisioning of Megashine City with some differences in lyrics.

Walt was a mystic with words and script. He could make the most perverse topics into things of beauty, still miss him to this day.

I love that track, have it included in my outtakes folder on the mp3 cd I ripped for my car in the gaucho range was just listening to it the other day. That and Kule Baba

Lies I can believe is a fave of mine as well, probably the best of the 11 tracks of whack outtakes on that outtakes album.

wow remaking the walter becker/donald fagen mix cd for the car again already <3

Not sure which tracks you are looking for but unless it's saccawagea probably can help. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT_cXq-gXWjDk859AZVLQer7waX3KhcFY more after they became Steely Dan, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT_cXq-gXWjATNXgBDea_4ZpapFA_XZ9P pre Steely Dan

something to look forward to

We are alllucky to have someone like you to keep Walts gems from remaining burried in the sands forever,

As far as I know its only the song Everything you did... I do know the eagles in response made a poke back with in Hotel California with "stab it with their steely knives"

I apologize Mod I jut figured out why I couldn't find the tracks before, I didn't know they were all bundled in one package and I saw it listed as the one track, Circus Money the Hammerhead Mix. Clicked download the album and found it.

That's a very good point about the sax solo, didn't put much thought into it until you mentioned that, Dean would be a pretty good guess.... maybe our moderator will chime in at some point.

Love this album, it's so very cynical, and I love every second of it. Held together with solid guitar work. Still think my favorite tracks aren't on the album. Lies I can Believe is up there as one of my favorite outtakes, don't know how this one ended up abandoned. Fall of 92 is another great track but I can easily see why it didn't make the album (amazing that something could be too outright cynical to be on that album, quite an accomplishment) glad that one was at least released though. Ghosts of Hypno's past was pretty good track too. Sanpaiku, was an interesting track a little outtake, like some things about it but its a bit rough. Was interesting to finally hear another version of Three sisters shaking on this page, it really ticks me off apple doesn't think Walter Becker ever deserves an artist picture and to this date you get the mic for him on itunes and i devices.

Wow, this is very different from the version in the collection of outtakes I found years ago. As different as the demo version of Medical Science and the bonus track on the Japanese version of 11 tracks of whack

thought I'd never get to hear the names of tracks let alone hear them when I found out from Samuel Purdy's steely dan stuff page there was stuff. Now if only a certain 1972 era song about a girl named Sacajawea would surface in the ether this year could begin to turn around.

Aww man... were these tracks forced down? was looking for a better verserion of DHD and interested in the demo version of bob is not your uncle anymore
