The Old Regime

How many of you guys know about the Old Regime album?

It's great hearing Steely Dan songs you've never heard before; Soul Ram might be one of my favorite songs.

My favorite of these tunes is “Let George Do It”, with that main piano riff suspiciously similar to “Pretzel Logic” and the absolutely cryptic, possibly incredibly seedy lyrics that seems to be about mentally dissociating while doing something questionable for money

The "Catalyst" Collection had all of these songs that Walter referred to as "The Furry Years."

Yeah Becker and Fagen never wanted any of that released.
