OK, that's Minstrel In The Gallery, Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses out of the way. They were all very easy on the ear and musically complex but I think it's Thick As A Brick which stayed in my mind the longest.
I did like Everything In Our Lives from the Horses session though.
And this restrained, early version of Jack-A-Lynn:

Steely Dan's track The Second Arrangement was accidentally erased by a recording engineer and didn't make it onto their Gaucho album.
Enthusiasts in the Dan fan community have reassembled the track using modern technology. Universal Music are busy copyright striking the videos out of existence so this may disappear at some point.

Thats a fascinating story. I never knew about the lost song. Sounds like it could have been another hit for them. What I don’t understand is why they had to start re-recording the song from scratch in an effort to create a replacement. If the only thing that was destroyed was the master recording, couldn’t they have simply mixed a new master recording from all the various recorded elements they used to create the mix in the first place?

From what I infer it'd be Becker & Fagen who'd have to approve a new mix and maybe the process in those pre digital days was sufficiently torturous to make them not want to climb Mount Everest again. Maybe they just ran out of budget? I suspect the audition cassette didn't have the write tabs knocked out because tape was expensive and they wanted to reuse it if they didn't approve the final mix. Baffling.
Here in Britain we've lost hundreds of historically significant tv programmes because the tape was reused.
Never having played Cyberpunk 2077 it took a little digging to discover Refused's classic album The Shape Of Punk To Come. The Swedish educational system sure is great at producing artists who do something different within their genre.
