For Dan enthusiasts, the dry spell commenced post-1982. We'd been blessed with Fagen's "Nightfly," yet the future of Steely Dan seemed uncertain. Then, during my college years in '83, I stumbled upon this gem in the record store. I audibly exclaimed, "What in the world is this?" as I rummaged through my pockets for spare change. And thus, we were granted another year of brilliance with this incredible collection of demos. Standouts include "Yellow Peril" and Fagen's rendition of "Brooklyn." Two years down the line, in '85, the UK released the "Sun Mountain" demo compilation. Steely Dan devotees were overjoyed.
Every Steely Dan fan must have this! It's packed with unreleased tracks that sound pretty great. Plus, there are some awesome demos that turned into famous songs later. It's a lovely unofficial collection. And there's a funny mix-up with « Fagan » instead of « Fagen » on the credits!
Should you have stumbled upon "You Go Where I Go," it's likely you're either a devoted Steely Dan enthusiast or perhaps a tad eccentric. This quirky assortment of tracks swings from genuinely great to utterly forgettable, with demo and outtake quality that's somewhat lacking in polish and the signature romantic allure that Steely Dan is celebrated for. That said, a few numbers are utterly captivating. Tunes like "Brain Tap Shuffle," "Come Back Baby," and "Don’t Let Me In" bounce along with such bewildering charm that it's a mystery why they were never considered for more extensive development and included on one of Steely Dan's earlier albums. The most peculiar feature of this release is that several tracks seem to have been transmitted from the future, as if Fagen and Becker had jazzier plans for these songs but left them incomplete, knowing the world wasn't quite ready for the innovative tricks they had up their sleeves. Still, these songs have been floating around for a while on various unofficial releases, mostly from Europe, including "Steely Dan" (Object Enterprises ONN54), "Becker & Fagen" (West Coast Productions KLM 1994), "The Steely Dan Collection Vol. I & II" (Dressed To Kill 2000), and a few other compilations that include one or two of these tracks. What makes this album so sought-after is the rumor of a very limited vinyl release for this collection, though I've never laid eyes on it, so it could just be another one of those legendary Steely Dan myths. "You Go Where I Go" (pardon the pun) doesn't take you anywhere special; there's no flow, profundity, or context to it, yet it's an enjoyable listen for the diehard fan. I can't say I've played my copy more than two or three times. **The Fun Facts:** The musicians featured here are quite the lineup: Denny Dias, Elliott Randal, John Discepolo, John Mazzi, Keith Thomas, Kenny “Vance” Rosenberg, and of course, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.
