The Royal Scam (LP)

Steely Dan's gold-selling fifth studio album 'The Royal Scam', was produced by Gary Katz and was originally released by ABC Records in 1976. 'The Royal Scam' features more prominent guitar work than the prior Steely Dan album, Katy Lied, which had been the first without founding guitarist Jeff Baxter. Guitarists on the recording include Walter Becker, Denny Dias, Larry Carlton, Elliott Randall and Dean Parks. 'The Royal Scam' is a challenging and rewarding listen, showcasing the band's unique blend of rock, jazz, and funk, and their uncompromising approach to songwriting and production.
