Fear not, Friday Music will appear on schedule, but I just came across this, and had to share:
Here’s the basic story: Steely Dan (one of my all-time favorite groups) essentially recorded two different versions of their 1980 album Gaucho — read the site for details. The earlier (and some say better) version’s recordings have been found, and posted in mp3 on that site, including alternate versions of three songs, and, more importantly, five completely unreleased Steely Dan songs.
Enjoy.
