The laid is not, however, a consummate compilation of every rail released past times Steely Dan upwards to 1993. Missing are both sides of the band's 1972 debut unmarried ("Dallas" b/w "Sail the Waterway"), neither of which has e'er been re-issued on CD. This is due to the band's dislike of the songs in addition to refusal to let them to survive reissued.
Until 1998, this was the entirely house to abide by the remastered versions of the Steely Dan albums. However, because the albums were separate upwards irregularly alongside the discs (in around cases with the rail venture changed), the remastered studio albums were issued inwards 1998, albeit without bonus tracks.
The showtime pressing features "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" using the unmarried edit of the song. This version omits the percussive opening for the song. The minute pressing of the boxed laid features the version from the album although it was reissued without whatever data noting the change.
Glen Meadows remastered the CD laid from the digital masters archived past times Donald Fagen, Gary Katz in addition to Roger Nichols inwards 1982. These digital tapes were prepared because the original analog tapes were inwards really pitiable shape. The earliest CD mastering for all the Steely Dan albums inwards 1985 used these digital tapes simply MCA inexplicably used deteriorating analog masters for all afterward CD pressings until the 1998 remasters. This data was discovered past times Roger Nichols inwards 1991 when he was asked his sentiment of the Mobile Fidelity Gold reissues of Aja in addition to Gaucho. Nichols discovered that the "Gaucho CD was fifty-fifty a dissimilar speed, almost a quarter tone sharper" when compared to the original CD that he was involved in.
The 1993 boxed laid remaster was the showtime fourth dimension since the originally issued CDs that the albums used the right source tape.
Collecting all of Steely Dan's albums inwards chronological order, addition all of their 2 or 3 B-sides in addition to ane demo inwards a four-CD box, Citizen Steely Dan is entirely worthwhile for the fan replacing their former records. The remastering on the box is precisely the same every bit the newly upgraded CDs, in addition to everything simply the demo is available on other discs.
