In the spirit of the holidays, we’re excited to release four newly transferred outtakes from Steely Dan, circa 1972. These tracks were likely recorded before or just after the band’s debut album, Can’t Buy A Thrill.
The source of these tracks is a pair of 5” 1/4-track reels labeled “Becker & Fagen Tunes,” likely compiled as publishing demos. Each reel contains three tracks, with the other two being the A- and B-sides of the rare single Dallas / Sail The Waterway. JEMS obtained these tapes from the estate of someone associated with Village Recorders, where Can’t Buy A Thrill was recorded. Given the tapes’ age, the source, and the content, we believe they were likely intended as publishing demos.
Track Details:
From Tape One:
Any World: An early version of a song later re-recorded for Katy Lied. The key is altered, and it sounds closer to a finished Steely Dan track compared to the final version. Notably, this version is different from the circulating “demo” version, which features a distinct keyboard sound. There are some minor channel fluctuations, but overall, the sound quality is strong. This version has never circulated before.
Running Child: This track is the same as the circulating Can’t Buy A Thrill outtake but presented here in higher quality with no fade-out, ending abruptly instead.
Megashine City: A surprising and radically different version of a song that would evolve into the Gaucho outtake Talkin' 'Bout My Home. The arrangement is more upbeat and features a unique, almost affected vocal delivery from David Palmer. This version is also believed to be previously unreleased.
From Tape Two:
Come Back Baby: Another outtake that has circulated, but here it’s presented with upgraded sound quality. Previous versions are pitched higher; the accuracy of this pitch is uncertain, though other songs on the tape are consistent with known versions.
The tape also includes Dallas and Sail The Waterway, both of which contain surface noise, suggesting that these were transferred from studio acetates rather than the final single pressings. As Dallas and Sail were already released, we cannot include those tracks, but Come Back Baby has been de-clicked and de-crackled for improved listening. The tape ends with a pause, followed by an acoustic guitar fragment from an unrecognized track—possibly of interest to fans.
Special thanks to Hans V, Goody, and others for their input on this project. The tapes were obtained through an unexpected Craigslist find, and we couldn’t have completed the transfer without key partners like mjk5510, who assisted in the final steps. Enjoy, and we welcome feedback from Dan experts.

Notes:
The first Steely Dan single, Dallas / Sail The Waterway, was released in 1972, a few months before their debut album. These two non-LP tracks offer a glimpse of their early sound, slightly rougher than their later polished work.
Both tracks have never been included on any major compilation or re-release, though they appeared on the 1978 EP Plus Fours.

STEELY DAN
The Lost Gaucho
The following is taken from Steely Dan’s website:
"While recording "Gaucho", Becker and Fagen had to endure various misfortunes which delay the release date: Becker is hit by a car, one of their favorite new tracks "The Second Arrangement" is accidentally erased by an assistant recording engineer, and there is a dispute over which record company has the rights to their forthcoming album.
"Becker and Fagen had already signed a new contract with Warner Brothers, but ABC (now owned by MCA) claims that they are still owed one more album. MCA wins the contract dispute and then decides to increase the album's list price to US$9.98, one dollar more than all the other albums. Donald and Walter continue to hold back the album while they unsuccessfully fight the price increase. Finally, Gaucho is released in November, 1980."
Aja came out in 1977 and Steely Dan took three years fighting with their record company before they released Gaucho in 1980. Unknown to most fans was the "lost" Gaucho, a complete album vastly different to what was released. Of the songs that appeared on Gaucho only three appeared on this lost version in different form.
Were You Blind That Day was an early rendition of a song with different lyrics that finally appeared as Third World Man on Gaucho. Time Out Of Mind on the lost version is simpler missing the embellishments added on the Gaucho version. And the title track here is just an instrumental.
But the lost Gaucho had original songs that never appeared before. Kind Spirit, The Bear, The Second Arrangement, Talkin’ About My Home and Kulee Baba have never been released as far as we know in any form.
For the longest time, the only source of info on this lost album was from Brian Sweet’s Steely Dan biography, Reelin’ In The Years, which told the story of how at least one track from the early Gaucho sessions was accidentally erased by a careless engineer. The track was identified as The Second Arrangement. Sweet said Becker and Fagen decided it was too difficult to get the feel of that song and abandoned it in favor of Third World Man.
These early sessions supposedly originate from 1979 and earlier versions of these songs circulated in poorer quality until 2002 when high quality copies of the sessions emerged. A copy was recently torrented and shared among the trading community. We’ve heard the earlier Gaucho Outtakes and can vouch that this new source is superior with a clean sound and wide stereo. (However, CD #1 was unfortunately presented in an 'Out-Of-Phase' reproduction, which can be corrected by means of 'Phase Reversal' on one channel in analogue mode.)
As to why so many songs were dropped from the final lineup of Gaucho, a case can be made that this early version was too close in style to 1977’s Aja - shorter songs, sweeter melodies and more accessible lyrics. The finally released Gaucho seemed purposely obscure, deep and complex. Was it to spite their record company MCA? Is it possible that The Second Arrangement was never erased but that Becker and Fagen concocted the story to avoid releasing what they thought was the better version of Gaucho? Listen and decide for yourself.
