A few years ago, maybe 2008, someone from Soul Strut posted a link to at least four Steely Dan tracks with no vocals. Please, please, please can anyone tell me the story behind this? I cannot find any information or remember who may have posted this. Search doesn't yield anything. I've uploaded a link if anyone is interested.. There is a bit of feedback/fuzz that can be heard on these.

    Big love for Steely Dan.

    Anything you have by them in a instrumental version would be much appreciated.


    Here is a Steely edit I did with a friend a few months back...

    The stuff that showed up online were out takes and demo versions from Gaucho, The Royal Scam and Katy Lied. Lots of REALLY nice material but no "Peg" or "Hey Nineteen" instrumentals.

    had a look through my folders and i think what you want is what chan linked to.

    there are a couple of insto tracks on katy lied out-takes like "funky driver", etc... and maybe a vocal-less version of "gaucho" with a different bridge arrangement...there are also some instrumentals on the earlier becker-fagen material that was recorded before "can't buy a thrill".

    i have instrumental versions of almost any sd/df song you can name but done by different artistes... there is no legit instro recording of "peg" that has ever seen the light of day other than what is in that youtube clip but then again no one i know has ever heard the "aja" outtakes...my guess is that if "royal scam" outtakes exist that there would likely be a few instrumental versions since there are certain tracks they didn't even play on ("don't take me alive")

    "snowbound" (bass and drums mix): http://www.divshare.com/download/2057172-17e

    "transisland skyway" (bass and drums mix): http://www.divshare.com/download/1943659-1a6

    if these guys beasted out anymore....

    those Katy Lied outtakes are retarded - where did they come from? and how does "Black Cow" fall into that category? regardless - the beginning of Doctor Wu with Donald saying "ooh it's so cosmic" = jewy facemelt.

    they have been circulating for about 20 years now (pete fogel related i think...).

    black cow was written earlier and didn't fit on the album but hearing it played on that fancy pants katy lied grand piano is a treat. (btw apparently black cow is a song about thelonius monk--- the reference to "rudy's" is rudy van gelder's studio in nj)

    yeah, that dr wu is neat; after the guitar solo he exclaims "that's so fucking great!!!".

    check out the outtake of "chain lightening", just before the last verse donald whispers, "40 years later"... so it's a blues song about ss officers who are reliving the glories of rousing hitler speeches and nazi brotherhood, etc...and its their most innocuous sounding tune
