STEELY DAN - "The Royal Scam" - ABC Records 1976 1st pressing (no barcode)

"The Royal Scam is the first Steely Dan record that doesn't exhibit significant musical progress from its predecessor, but that doesn't mean the album is any less interesting. The cynicism that was suppressed on Katy Lied comes roaring to the surface on The Royal Scam ó not only are the lyrics bitter and snide, but the music is terse, broken, and weary. Nevertheless, the best songs on The Royal Scam, like the sneering "Kid Charlemagne" and "Sign in Stranger," rank as genuine Steely Dan classics." - AMG.

This is the original ABC records 1st pressing from 1976 - not the MCA re-issue in 1980.

The record is Exc.
The jacket is NM.

2 great sides. Tight Bass, open and dynamic sound and strong imaging w very good depth. Much better than the later 1980 re-issue.

Each record is washed on a VPI cleaning machine using a proprietary 3-5 agent process which is determined by the needs of the individual record. Each record is then listened to 100% to insure that the posted description is exactly what you can expect to get.
