Description

Can't Buy A Thrill is Steely Dan’s debut album — a sophisticated blend of jazz-inflected rock, sardonic lyrics, and studio precision that introduced the world to the song writing duo of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. This 50th Anniversary Edition is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, and remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analogue tapes. The reissue was cut by Alex Abrash at AA Mastering and pressed at Precision Record Pressing, ensuring audiophile-grade fidelity and warmth.

Produced by Gary Katz, the album features multiple vocalists including David Palmer, Jim Hodder, and Donald Fagen, with standout performances from session legends like Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Jerome Richardson, and Elliot Randall. With hits like “Do It Again,” “Reelin’ In The Years,” and the now-viral “Dirty Work,” the album balances pop accessibility with musical complexity, setting the tone for Steely Dan’s meticulous legacy.
